Electronics and Communications Engineering (B.S.)

Bachelor of Science

To achieve the mission of Electronics and Communication Engineering requires a solid core of foundation courses in physics, mathematics, computer science, and general engineering, which is also essential for life-long learning. Concentration courses in Electronics and Communications Engineering (that integrate theory and laboratory wherever possible) cover electromagnetics, circuits, electronics, digital design, signal processing and communications among other topics. State-of-the-art electronics and communications engineering elective courses provide seniors and advanced undergraduates the opportunity to develop a thrust in advanced electronics, communication systems and computers.

The Electronics and Communications Engineering (B.S.) program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET under the commission’s General Criteria and the Program Criteria for the Electrical, Computer, Communications, Telecommunication(s) and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

The Electronics and Communications Engineering (B.S.) program  has an equivalence from the Supreme Council of Universities in Egypt.

Program Objectives

The electronics and communications engineering program at AUC graduates an electronics and communications engineer who, within a few years of graduation, fulfills societal needs, with consideration for ethical and environmental issues and an appreciation of lifelong learning, in one or more of the following roles:

• A professional team member in a multidisciplinary environment, local or global.
• A leader in electronics and communications engineering through notable achievements, promotion and professional development.
• A successful member of an advanced academic or research organization.
• A successful entrepreneur.

Learning Outcomes

Completing the requirements of the Electronics and Communications Engineering Program at AUC, our students will develop:

• An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
• An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
• An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
• An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
• An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
• An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
• An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

Declaration of the Electronics and Communications Engineering Major

Students accepted at AUC may either get admitted into their preferred major at the time of admission to the university (declare their major at the gate) or get admitted to the university as undeclared. Students who get admitted into a major will still have the opportunity to change their major later. Students must declare a major before completing 60 credit hours (before achieving a junior standing). Please check the eligibility criteria for declaring the Electronics and Communications Engineering major below.

Eligibility Criteria for Electronics and Communications Engineering Major Declaration at the Gate

The eligibility criteria for students who wish to apply to declare their major from the gate, with the declaration effective in the fall 2026 semester or the spring 2027 semester, can be accessed through the link below. Admission to the major is based on the program’s student capacity.
