Duration:

Nine semesters

Description:

The Bachelor in Telematics –Networks and Telecommunications Engineering prepares students in three main areas, which are:

a)      Telecommunication networks: This area includes topics that are related to current telecommunication systems, such as local area networks, wide area networks, voice, data and video converged networks, cell phone networks, land and satellite microwave systems as well as the standards for the installation of structured cabling infrastructure.

b)      Information technology: This is a set of software-based applications and informatic equipment that makes use of telecommunication networks to transmit and carry out other actions. Other applications include web programming, database and knowledge base design, voice and video applications, programming for mobile devices and vehicle positioning.

c)       Embedded systems: This is an area of knowledge in continuous development in industry, and it refers to electronic systems, including microcomputers, standard inputs and outputs, connectivity and software. A microcomputer can be adapted to almost any type of application, particularly in bringing to life the concept of the Internet of Things, as one of its main advantages is mobility and connectivity. Embedded systems can obtain, process, transmit, and receive information from different sources, including sensors and typical input and output devices. The applications of this sector are limitless and can be seen in the following sectors: automotive, health services, automation of production lines, recreation, commerce, smart cities, and education.

The academic program of the Bachelor in Telematics –Networks and Telecommunications Engineering is divided into three cycles, which allows the student to choose an appropriate exit point. Students can choose to complete an Associate Degree in the fourth semester, a Technical Bachelor’s degree in the sixth semester, or the Bachelor of Science in Telematic Engineering by finishing the entire academic program.

A telematic engineer has a set of abilities, including managing and directing projects in areas related to the field, in particular in telecommunications and information technology.

In addition to their regular classes, students of the Bachelor in Telematics –Networks and Telecommunications Engineering have the opportunity to use specialized labs in telecommunications, structured cabling, information security, robotics, and the development of specialized software.

Students in the Bachelor in Telematics –Networks and Telecommunications Engineering also have the possibility of participating in a large number of academic activities, such as visiting companies, participating in applied research projects, attending academic conferences and student exchanges with universities in Mexico as well as other countries.

The academic program opens the doors to studying a postgraduate degree in Telematic Engineering. Our alumni have chosen to supplement their knowledge with specializations in telecommunications, information technology, business and finance.
