Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering

Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi , was established as a unit within the university with the objective of teaching subjects focused on electronic and telecommunication engineering. Its aim is to produce professional engineers with specialized skills, research capabilities, and the ability to work in various industrial sectors. The department commenced operations in 1992, receiving approval on September 14, 1992, which is considered the founding date of the department. It has existed for over 20 years to this day.

The department offers instruction in Electrical and Communication Engineering. Electronic engineering is a crucial upstream technology essential for developing almost all technological products. Furthermore, it's a technology experiencing continuous growth and innovation, making it a vital component of the information age. This includes communication systems, image and sound systems for entertainment, medicine, military, transportation, construction, and even space technology. Electrical and Communication Engineering, on the other hand, studies various telecommunication systems such as microwave systems and satellite systems. It encompasses subjects such as magnetic fields, principles of communication, communication systems and telecommunications, and modern communication technologies.

The curriculum's philosophy is to produce bachelor's degree graduates who are proficient in various skills, knowledge, and theories, enabling them to pursue careers as electrical, communications, or electronic engineers, and to continue their studies at a higher level. Graduates will be able to conduct effective specialized research in electrical, communications, and electronic engineering. Furthermore, graduates will possess strong moral character, leadership qualities, and the ability to work effectively with others.

Career paths in the electronics and telecommunications industry are highly diverse, encompassing telecommunications, electronic component manufacturing, and various data transmission industries. These sectors all require electronics and telecommunications engineers to work in design, analysis, development, and consulting. Furthermore, electronics and telecommunications engineers are in high demand by organizations using these technologies. Graduates can work in a wide range of roles, designing, controlling, analyzing, developing, and maintaining systems ranging from chips and circuit boards to communication networks. They can also own their own electronics and telecommunications businesses, and many graduates work for leading companies internationally. The job market for electronics and telecommunications engineers is extremely high across various industries, resulting in very low unemployment rates for these professionals.
