About Electronics - ICT
Electronics-ICT is a three-year technological study dealing with personal computers, pc networks, internet technology and data communication. This type of study is meant to attract youngsters of general and technical secondary education who are fascinated by the functioning of a pc in all of its aspects. Practically speaking you will learn to work with network appliances, web design, operating systems, the installation of network servers, computer control, domotics and multimedia, chip design, pc-hardware and electronic hardware and software.
Options:
Electronics
Course content
In this option you will familiarise yourself with analogue and digital electronics. You will be given courses in general electronics and power electronics (diac, triac and thyristor controls). You will get insight into the operation of microcontrollers and learn how to program these components, with particular attention to process controls. Time will also be spent on various measuring systems. You may also build an electronic design from a scheme to a PCB then into a working product. In domotics you will learn how to design an installation and later program it according to various systems already on the market. In the IT courses you will learn how to scan, process and visualise process data. Within this programme much attention will also be paid to telecommunications. The world of broadcasting will be examined using practical examples for analogue as well digital information transfer. All PCs are connected with an ultra-fast switched glass fibre network.
Work placement
In the third year students go on a work placement for 13 weeks to work on a project.
Job opportunities
A bachelor of Electronics-ICT will work in an area where information is being processed, stored or transmitted via modern information technology. This will involve computers, internet, telecommunication, networks and multimedia. He or she will be responsible for all aspects of this technology: the hardware (computers and network appliances, infrastructure), software (programmes and configuration), contents and form of the information offered (multimedia).
- Installation and maintenance of network infrastructure
(appliance, LAN, WAN, data communication) - Installation, configuration, and testing of servers, routers, switches and firewalls network management: management of users, configuration and security of storage space, applications , servers, printers, etc.
- Design, analysis and consulting for computer networks help desk and PC-support, solving problem situations and support of PC users, mainframes and mini computers
- Development of applications in which technology plays an important role, e.g. network and systems programs, client-server programs, time-critical applications, simulations, multimedia applications
- Development of information systems on internet technology: websites,
intranets, extranets, database connections, scripting, secured connections,
streaming installation and maintenance of electronic systems (machines, appliances) in industrial areas. - Installation and maintenance of automated systems , e.g. in domotics installations.
ICT
Course content
The recurring theme throughout this option is the PC in a network configuration. You will study client-server applications extensively. On top of that, you will mainly learn about PC hardware tuning, Cisco CCNA network technology, PIX firewall network security, VOIP, wireless LAN, server 2003, Unix (Linux), Exchange server, ISA server, database access and SQL, static and dynamic web design, ASP and PHP, Flash, XML, graphic web tools, microcontrollers and embedded controllers in C and Java, and programming and control using the PC.
