Department of Systems & Computer Engineering 2/12
March 2017 Communications Engineering
Why Are We Here? • Substantial changes to the Communications
Engineering program have been approved by the
University Senate.
• These changes affect the courses you are to take for
your degree.

Department of Systems & Computer Engineering 3/12
March 2017 Communications Engineering
Why is the Program Changing? • The “computer hardware” component of your
program has not been updated for many years.
• The existing program has limited coverage of network
and software security, an area that is of growing
importance to communications engineering.
• Because of the importance of probability theory to
communications engineering, a new course has been
designed specifically for communications engineering
students.
• A course in numerical methods (ECOR 2606) is now
included as a core part of the program.

Computer Hardware • The following courses are being removed from the
program: SYSC 2001 – Computer Systems Foundations
SYSC 2003 – Introductory Real-Time Systems
ELEC 2607 – Digital Switching Circuits
• They are being replaced by three new courses: SYSC 2310 – Introduction to Digital Systems
SYSC 2320 – Introduction to Computer Organization and
Architecture
SYSC 3310 – Introduction to Real-Time Systems

March 2017 Communications Engineering
Network & Software Security • New course: SYSC 4810 – Introduction to Network
and Software Security
With society’s ever-increasing reliance on computing and
telecommunication comes the need to ensure that our
information technology is protected against unwanted
intrusion and disruption. This course will give
engineering students exposure to some of the key issues
involving network and software security.

March 2017 Communications Engineering
Probability Theory • New course: SYSC 2510 – Probability, Statistics and
Random Processes Discrete and continuous random variables. Joint and conditional
probabilities, independence, sums of random variables.
Expectation, moments, laws of large numbers. Introduction to
statistics. Stochastic processes, stationarity, additive white Gaussian
noise, Poisson processes. Markov processes, transition probabilities
and rates, birth death processes, introduction to queueing theory.
• This course will provide better background for the
communications theory courses in third and fourth
year than the current course (STAT 2605).

March 2017 Communications Engineering
Numerical Methods • Communications Engineers are expected to be
proficient at programming efficient numerical
algorithms used in modern telecommunications
equipment.
• ECOR 2606 is taught using MATLAB, an essential
tool for the design and simulation of communication
systems.

What Do You Need To Do? • You need to decide whether you want to change to the
new program or remain in the old program.
• All students need to inform the department of their
choice, either by signing the appropriate signup sheet
or by sending an email to [email protected].

Reasons to Change to the New Program
• Exposure to modern technologies
• New background in second year will better prepare
you for your third- and fourth-year courses
-
Department of Systems & Computer Engineering 10/12
March 2017 Communications Engineering
Reasons to Remain in the Old Program
• You’ve already completed ELEC 2607, SYSC 2001
and SYSC 2003 These courses will not count towards your degree if you change
programs
• You’re more interested in the history of computer
architecture, not the future.
• If you started in Fall 2015 or earlier, you may be able
to graduate earlier if you remain on the old program.

Warning
• If you choose to remain on the old program you
should be aware that SYSC 2001 and SYSC 2003 are
being phased out SYSC 2001 – Last offered in Fall 2017
SYSC 2003 – Last offered in Winter 2018
• If you don’t complete SYSC 2003 in Winter 2018,
you will have to change to the new program, and your
graduation will be delayed.
