Communications and Broadcasting Engineering
- Major Introduction and Description
Since its establishment in 1994, the Communications and Broadcasting Engineering Major has produced more than 320 master’s degrees graduates in communications, broadcasting, and radio. Most of these graduates later moved on to work in telecommunications and broadcasting technology-related industries, research institutes, national institutions, and as professional technical personnel in other related fields, both in Korea and overseas. Many graduates also work as creative engineers and professional engineering leaders, who use their social leadership and engineering management skills to solve rapidly changing technological issues in the industry. Through their efforts, they demonstrate their ability to play a leading role in the development of the Korean IT industry at major domestic and foreign institutions.
In this department, with an optimal learning environment provided under the guidance of ten international-level faculty members, a broad, in-depth, and systematic curriculum of both basic and intensive levels of practical coursework is being operated on the following subjects: microwaves and light waves, communications and broadcasting systems, and signal processing and networks. Primary courses include those on digital communications theory and communications system design, such as communications networks and mobile, satellite, optical, video, and next-generation industrial mobile communications. There are also courses provided on radio frequency (RF) theory and RF circuit and element design fields, such as antennas, broadcasting communications circuits, electromagnetic environment engineering, and radio wave engineering. Lastly, another line of courses is offered on practical theories in the fields of broadcasting system engineering, mobile broadcasting, and information protection and security, all of which are related to the digital broadcasting industry.
Rather than implementing a one-way approach to education, students conduct research and partake in discussions on academic theories, trends in technological developments, and industrial applications of the material through seminar classes on various topics each semester, which encourage active exchanges between students and professors. Through this method, the program aims to foster expert human resources and future leaders in the development of new technologies and equip them with the capacities for creative design in communications and broadcasting technology, which, in the future, will serve as the foundation for the core ICT convergence fields of the industry.
- Educational Goals
- Fostering expert and practical human resources in radio-wave industries, such as communications and broadcasting
- Providing broad and in-depth knowledge on various practical applications based on current communications and broadcasting technology, which are the core of ICT
- As a Continuing Education program, training technical and expert professionals with capacities for creative design in the fields of communications, broadcasting, and radio, with a focus on academic consilience and convergence and the practical tasks required by modern-day industrial society
