KTU Electronics and Communication Engineering program aims to educate engineers who can contribute to the rapidly evolving information and communication technologies. The goal is to train engineers who possess comprehensive understanding and application skills in areas such as electronic system design, electromagnetic field theory, microwave, antennas, signal processing, biomedical system design, information theory, analog/digital communication system design, and software development.
In line with this goal, students who successfully complete all courses (240 ECTS) in our program, achieve a minimum weighted GPA of 2.0 out of 4.00, successfully complete their design/thesis project and professional internship, are entitled to graduate with the title of ELECTRONICS and COMMUNICATION ENGINEER.
