The Microelectronics with Computer Communications course covers a wide range of topics in computer, electronics,
communications and networking. The course aims to produce graduates with sound electronic and networking foundations and with strong analytical and logical thinking skills as well as good hands-on skills. Students studying this course are prepared for Cisco’s Netacad (CCNA) examination simultaneously.

The Microelectronics with Computer Communications course offered in the Microelectronics and Physics Division is well equipped with a wide range of software, hardware and networking facilities to enhance students’ learning.

The Advanced Diploma in Science cum BS Degree course aims to produce graduates majoring in microelectronics with computer communications. The course is so designed that graduates are trained to the professional level, specialising in embedded system design, digital signal processing, data communications & networks, telecommunications, multimedia technology and mobile computing. Students are prepared with professional knowledge and skill for the Cisco networking professional examination (CCNA).

With the opportunity for students to go for six months industrial training, students will be exposed to real-life industrial problems, which will be both challenging and rewarding in terms of the invaluable experience that they will gain. Students are trained to improve their problem solving skills so that they would be able to blend into the workforce easily.

The Advanced Diploma in Science (Microelectronics with Computer Communications) is recognised as suitable for
progression to a Liverpool John Moores University (JMU), UK degree with prior credit. Advanced Diploma graduates of this programme can obtain the BEng (Hons) Microelectronics Engineering Degree from JMU by completing the final semester of the programme at the university.

Information and communication technology is increasingly being used by industry and commerce as a means of gaining a commercial advantage either by reducing manual costs or by improving the quality of their products or services. Advancement in computer and microelectronic systems is leading to a rapid change in information and communication technology. Under this trend of rapid development in ICT, the demand for ICT personnel in communication and networking will continue unabated.

The Advanced Diploma in Science cum BS Degree course is designed to meet the increasing employment demands and opportunities due to the rapid development of the microelectronics and semiconductor technology particularly in microelectronic design, developing and manufacturing industries as well as computer communication and internetworking industries. Graduates could seek employment as microelectronic engineers, embedded system design engineers, data communication engineers, systems engineers, network engineers, network specialists etc.
