As part of Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Telecommunications) degree, you will undertake industry placement and work on the Capstone project through the below units:
MIT’s School of IT & Engineering has designed these units to provide you with real-world experience, working for an industry client. The Industry Experience unit will require you to undertake eight weeks (full-time) or 16 weeks (part-time) industry placement. The additional two project units will provide you with a capstone final year project in system specification, analysis, design, development, implementation, testing and troubleshooting. You will tackle complex real-world problems with technical and creative skills.
Our past students have worked on capstone project such as:
- Mobile Communication - Handover scheme in Vehicle Network
- Home Automation - Wi-Fi-based Home Automation System
- Telecommunication - Implementation of Machine Learning Algorithms to optimise Mobile Tower Management
- Farming - Development of an app to inform farmers of the stress level in plants using IOT devices
- Farming - Creating an IoT sensor network to aid farmers on the correct irrigation need for the farmland for maximum yield
- Environment - Creating an IoT device-based sensor network to monitor the water level in rivers and logging the information
- Retirement Homes - Creating a Voice enabled IoT network to aid elderly to control the home appliances
- Human Resources - Classification and sorting of CV through Machine Learning
Industry-Based Projects and Internships
Industry Experience
It is mandatory for awarding of the degree that the students undertake Industry Experience of eight weeks (full-time) or 16 weeks (half-time). If a third party is required to find the placement for the student, it will incur a fee (currently up to $1094.50) which the student is responsible for. This industry experience is designed to meet Engineers Australia accreditation requirements. Students will enrol in the Industry Experience unit (BE700) at an approved time from Teaching Period 3.

Course overview
The world is connected more than ever before. People can talk, text, video, and exchange data at any time through one device. The Bachelor of Engineering Technology focuses on developing theoretical and practical aspects of telecommunications systems and services, including the internet and mobile networks such as 4G/5G/6G, broadband optical, wireless, satellite, and cable systems.
Taught by lecturers with specialist industry experience, this course will equip you with the skills to plan, design, implement and manage telecommunication protocols, systems, and infrastructure.
You will learn about a broad range of telecommunications technologies (such as 4G/5G/6G mobile and Wi-Fi) and the Internet of Things (IoT), cable and satellite systems.

Course Details
To graduate from the Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Telecommunications), students must complete 360 credit points overall. Each unit (except the Industry Experience) is worth 15 credit points, and full-time students undertake four units per trimester.
First Year and Second Year
Students learn about the principles and fundamentals of telecommunication engineering and are provided with skills in mathematics and networking to broaden their career scopes and prospects.
Third Year
In the final year, students are provided with an in-depth understanding of modern telecommunication networks, services and applications to make them job-ready. Students also undertake the Industry-based projects that allow them to apply theoretical concepts with a hands-on approach in problem-solving, design, project management, communication and deepening of soft skills.

As part of Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Telecommunications) degree, you will undertake industry placement and work on the Capstone project through the below units:
MIT’s School of IT & Engineering has designed these units to provide you with real-world experience, working for an industry client. The Industry Experience unit will require you to undertake eight weeks (full-time) or 16 weeks (part-time) industry placement. The additional two project units will provide you with a capstone final year project in system specification, analysis, design, development, implementation, testing and troubleshooting. You will tackle complex real-world problems with technical and creative skills.
Our past students have worked on capstone project such as:
- Mobile Communication - Handover scheme in Vehicle Network
- Home Automation - Wi-Fi-based Home Automation System
- Telecommunication - Implementation of Machine Learning Algorithms to optimise Mobile Tower Management
- Farming - Development of an app to inform farmers of the stress level in plants using IOT devices
- Farming - Creating an IoT sensor network to aid farmers on the correct irrigation need for the farmland for maximum yield
- Environment - Creating an IoT device-based sensor network to monitor the water level in rivers and logging the information
- Retirement Homes - Creating a Voice enabled IoT network to aid elderly to control the home appliances
- Human Resources - Classification and sorting of CV through Machine Learning
Industry-Based Projects and Internships
Industry Experience
It is mandatory for awarding of the degree that the students undertake Industry Experience of eight weeks (full-time) or 16 weeks (half-time). If a third party is required to find the placement for the student, it will incur a fee (currently up to $1094.50) which the student is responsible for. This industry experience is designed to meet Engineers Australia accreditation requirements. Students will enrol in the Industry Experience unit (BE700) at an approved time from Teaching Period 3.
