Associate in Science/Associate in Applied Science

Telecommunications Engineering Technology (Converged Networks) (2175)

This is a selective access program. Telecommunications Engineering Technology provides a hands-on learning environment in combining voice, video and data networking systems. This program is designed primarily for information professionals with experience in general networking and responsibility for design, implementation, or management of information systems. The program may also be appropriate for individuals in other professions who wish to gain an understanding of IP telephony and video over IP networks.

The program focuses on hands-on, lab-based learning and is not at the engineering or theory level. Topics covered include traditional telephony systems, voice and video over IP, codes, quality of service, unified messaging, home integration and other current topics in converged networks. Students enrolling in this course should have a basic knowledge of network systems as gathered from work experience, college work, or self-learning, and an interest in exploring a growing and dynamic field. A technical certificate, Network Communications (VoIP), is offered which can be completed while pursuing this associates degree. For additional information call 904.598.5676.

Notes
You have two options in this program: the associate in science (A.S.) degree, which can prepare you for employ¬ment or transfer to a state university, and the associate in applied science (A.A.S.) degree, which is intended primarily for students who want immediate employment after graduation. If you choose the A.S. degree you must take MAC 1105, MGF 1106 or a higher level mathematics. The A.A.S. degree requires MAT 1033 or higher. Please see an advisor to determine the option that is best for you.
