With the immense increase in demand of telecommunication engineers, growth of global telecommunication industry, deregulation, privatization, and rapid technological changes, UET Taxila, established Telecommunication Engineering Department under the Faculty of Telecommunication and Information Engineering.

Department of Telecommunication Engineering, is concerned with the theory, design, development and applications of computer networks and telecommunication systems. The objective of the program is to provide students with a strong theoretical and practical background in hardware and software, along with the engineering analysis, design and implementation skills necessary to work between the two.

The program involves study of complete telecommunication systems from design of its circuits to its operation. By successfully completing the Telecommunication Engineering degree, the graduates will gain a broad range of skills in the area of Telecommunication with strong analytical and critical thinking abilities. These graduates are ready to embark upon an exciting career in a diverse range of IT and communication technology-rich companies and industries. The department offers 4 years degree program of B.Sc. in Telecommunication Engineering. At present, first batch of Telecommunication Engineering of 48 students is enrolled in the program.

The department aims in imparting high quality education to the students with hands on training on the latest and emerging telecommunication technologies. For its engineers to measure up to international standards, the Telecommunication Engineering Department is inducting the cutting edge technology in the form of equipment and expertise in the form of faculty and professional training experts. This will help in achieving the University goals to produce engineers that are capable of taking on any challenge in the industry while being are able to perform their tasks efficiently yet with high precision.
