Executive Summary
The revision of the curriculum has been carried out for the Faculty of Telecommunication Engineering at the Gollis University. The curriculum revision aims to give more emphasis to practical aspect of engineering education and to develop the capacity of students for innovation and creative works.
Based on the result of the professional profile, inputs from the various stake holders and data collected from relevant international university programs a BSc curriculum has been designed. The BSc program will be a full-time eight-semester program consisting of an assessment semester, three semesters of basic study , three semesters of specialization study, one final semester of BSc industrial internship and project study thesis.
In order to raise the practical problem solving and creative capacity of the students, in addition to the normal lecture-classes the teaching and learning process shall be supported intensively and extensively by laboratory, computer-simulation and project works. To maintain the standard and relevance of the education, a continuous internal and external evaluation system will be integrated in the program which finally leads to the international accreditation of the program.
1. BACKGROUND
Introduction
The diffusion of technology and knowledge is a salient feature in the technological change, innovation and growth of the modern society. Much attention is being given to the role of universities in the development of nations. Universities all over the world are playing a crucial role in producing competent professionals who will be taking responsibility of the country’s technology and resources. This goal of universities can be further fostered by a strong link with the industries. A strong bond and relation between universities and the industry helps not only in finding out immediate solutions to prevailing challenges in the industry but also will help in producing all rounded and sharp professionals who will later be important assets to the development of the country.
The Faculty of Telecommunication and computer Engineering is one of the largest faculties of Gollis University. The Faculty offers programs leading to B.Sc. degree in Telecommunication in the regular program with duration of eight-semesters; and in continuing program too with the same duration of 8 semesters. It also offers a short term training program in Telecommunication Engineering.
The Faculty experienced a surge in enrolment of students in the regular as well the continuing program, which reveals the fact that the Faculty offers students not only the excellence in cutting edge technological knowledge and applications, but also in a multidisciplinary engineering background for the career that our students have planned.
This interest and aspiration in our students motivates the Faculty for dynamic and positive changes in reshaping the Faculty’s objectives in education and research. The Faculty also has plans to motivate the students to participate in community based extracurricular activities, and to help them contribute in societal problem solving.
The graduates of the Faculty have profound knowledge in basic science, mathematics, social science besides the major studies of telecommunication systems, control systems, software design, hardware design and microprocessors.
Telecommunication Engineering plays an important role in the development of the country. Our graduates are working all over the country in a variety of jobs. They work in installation, design, testing, research and sales of telecommunication devices and systems.
Missions of the Faculty
- To teach the fundamentals of modern Telecommunication
- To conduct and foster creative research by addressing the needs of industry, government and the scientific
- To graduate well-balanced students with up-to-date technical knowledge, and high aspirations to excellence, poverty alleviation and
- To publicize our achievements through enduring publications and via conference
Visions of the Faculty

Short History of the Department
The current Telecommunication Faculty of Gollis University was established in 2009. Since then, the Faculty has gone through a series of curricular changes and by the year 2011.
Through all these program changes, the Faculty consistently supplied the market with some of the best technicians and engineers who are now engaged in various businesses, industrial and research sectors in the nation.
The current Telecommunication engineering department, since its advent, has made lots of constructive changes to meet the standards and requirements in the field and to satisfy the national demand.
2. OBJECTIVES
It is being observed that there is a widespread and fast change in the application and Faculty in the field of Telecommunication in the country and the world. Therefore, there is a need for revising the currently running program with respect to the national and international situation. The Faculty feels that much is expected from it to bring about changes in the field of Telecommunication Engineering, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the country.
To-day’s Telecommunication and computer engineers must be able to find solutions to new complex and challenging technical problems. They must have strong scientific, technical and managerial skills and be able to integrate technical concepts with practical applications.
General Objectives
- To produce students with full professional competence in Telecommunication engineering
- To train high level technical manpower which can participate in the national Faculty activities
- To carry out research in the areas of Telecommunication and and relevant to the needs of the
- To render consultancy services to the community.
Specific Objectives
- To prepare students for career opportunities in industry and public services
- To provide fundamental knowledge in math, sciences, and engineering
- To provide skills for design and maintenance of products and
- To provide implicit understanding of the social and ethical responsibilities
- To enable graduates work as a team in addressing technical problems that may be encountered in industry in real
- To provide opportunity for workers in the field of electrical technology to upgrade their knowledge through a continuing education evening
- To engage students in research that offers optimal solutions to technical problems in the industry, energy sector, telecommunications, computer applications and other industrial
