Hi all, I am currently a college student that will be receiving a diploma in Telecommunications Technology (http://www.telecomtech.org) from Sheridan College (http://www.sheridanc.on.ca) in Dec 2002. I have decided that I wish to pursue a bachelors degree and possibly a masters thereafter, specifically an engineering degree. After browsing local university program calendars I find that most programs with any telecommunications content are generally labeled, "Electrical Engineering with a 'Specialization' in Telecommunications." I spoke to my current professors, who both have these degrees, and they say that the telecommunications content is a joke for the application in todays market unless you are looking only to deal with layer 1 technologies.
Though my current program has provided me with an exceptional base of conceptual and technical knowledge, I feel the need to go deeper and truly understand the engineering detail of all this. I want to attend a program, International if I must, that was built from the ground up as an Internetwork Engineering program. A program with content focus above layer 1. I understand that all good engineering programs will contain advanced math and that all telecommunications oriented programs will contain electronics and physical layer material, though I do not want this to dominate the curriculum. I have found such programs as Internet Engineering (http://www.uow.edu.au/discover/courses/yr2002/benginternet.html) and Telecommunications Engineering (http://www.uow.edu.au/discover/courses/yr2002/cour736.html) in my brief and mostly futile searches, though only in 1 Australian University, Wollongong University. I post this here because I know that there are many knowledgeable and industry-aware poeple here, some of whom have made quite a name for themselves in our field. I figure that with the wealth of knowledge observing this forum there must be someone, that who themselves or through their associations, know of 'the' program I am looking for. I would greatly appreciate any leads or information anyone may be able to provide. Thanks for your time, Greg PS. I think this industry is in serious need of some type of educational search engine. In the short time I've spent on educational search pages I've found not one that specifically lists even a category acutely appropriate for the internetworking field. I am quite confident, being in a field related program and seeing the obvious void in this area, that such a definative resource would be a hit among seasoned academics and post-secondary students alike, wishing to extend their knowledge. Just a thought for anyone up to the challenge. :) Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=41468&t=41468 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
