A New Baccalaureate Program In Wireless Engineering

The first baccalaureate program in Wireless Engineering in the U.S. was initiated within the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering of Auburn University in the Fall Semester of 2002. This new program has been designed to meet the needs of telecommunications companies, wireless network service providers, manufacturers of telecommunication network switching equipment, wireless application developers, and manufacturers of personal wireless communication appliances, such as telephones and personal digital assistants. Graduates of this program will be prepared to work on emerging and future wireless communications applications such as thirdand fourth-generation (3G and 4G) cellular telephony, broadband wireless local loop, high-speed wireless local area networks, mobile Internet access, wireless information appliances, and supporting telecommunications network infrastructure.
