Telecommunications engineer: what he does, how much he earns and where to study the career
This category includes, among others, Network and Communication Engineering, Information and Communication Engineering, Telecommunications and Network Engineering, and Teleinformatics Engineering.
But what does a telecommunications engineer do?
According to the UTP, this professional is in charge of "effectively and efficiently managing telecommunications resources, services and projects."
It also integrates information and communication technologies (ICT) to the design, optimization and control of networks, data communication systems and information security.
In addition, it analyzes, designs, configures and proposes solutions to provide profitable products and services to the telecommunications sector.
In general terms, as pointed out in Ponte en Carrera, this professional provides services in analog and digital electronics, transmission lines and signaling, as well as antennas, networks, cable and wireless transmission, cellular technology, among others.
-How much do you earn-
Taking into account the information on labor demand (salaries by career families and institution) that comes mainly from what is reported by the companies themselves companies through the MTPE Electronic Payroll, the average salary of a graduate of the telecommunications engineering career amounts to S/ 3,217.< blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

-Where to study?-
According to the Ponte en Carrera platform, there are currently seven universities that offer the possibility of becoming a computer engineer. telecommunications.
These are: Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (PUCP), National Engineering University (UNI), National University of Piura, National University of San Agustín (UNSA), Federico Villarreal National University (UNFV), National University of San Marcos (UNMSM) and Technological University of Peru (UTP).
In all of them, the career plan is developed over five years and divided into ten academic semesters, but the detail of the curriculum will vary depending on the educational institution chosen.
But, in general terms, you should take courses such as project execution, communications electronics, telecommunications regulations and policy, technological innovation, history of science and engineering, knowledge management technologies, signal processing in communications, economics of telecommunications, communication networks, emerging technologies in information systems, among others.
In that sense, telecommunication engineering students should be oriented to mathematical sciences or electronics, but they should also have an affinity with new technologies and advanced technologies, so they must have analytical skills, of organization and systems.
