Telecommunications Engineering Technology
(Converged Networks) (2175)
Because of creative telecommunications engineers, our cell phones
have become video cameras. Our computers have become telephones. And our televisions
deliver programs on demand, at our convenience. The integrated voice, video and data
systems revolution needs telecommunications engineers who know how to plan, design,
analyze and troubleshoot the complex networks that keep us connected.
Florida Community College’s Telecommunications Engineering
program focuses on hands-on experience in integrated voice, video and data networking
systems, and is not at the
engineering or theory level. Courses cover traditional telephony systems, voice and video over IP, codes,
quality of service, unified messaging, home integration and other current areas in
converged networks.
This is a selective access program. It 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. 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), can be completed while pursuing this associate degree. For additional information call 904.598.5676.
This program includes a required 60-hour internship.
FCCJ is the regional resource for employers in every type of technology. Our
partnerships with Cisco Systems, Dell, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and Sun Microsystems
provide career connections. An FCCJ intranet site posts jobs targeting our students.
Graduates are regularly employed by CSX, JEA, Blue Cross Blue Shield, the City of
Jacksonville, Medtronic, Mayo Clinic and other regional employers including the
government and military.
Annual earnings can range from $40,000 and up.
CET 2759, CCNA certification or one year of work experience in the field.
Estimated tuition is $4,250 (for Florida residents, as of 7/06).

*Refer to A.S. degree General Education
Requirements.
You have two options in this program: the associate in science (A.S.) degree, which can prepare you for employment 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.
