GEORGE BROWN FULL-TIME PROGRAMS GUIDE 2011-2012

Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently, participate in a team, be well-organized, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.

Beginning in August 2006, George Brown College in collaboration with Chitkara Educational Trust in Chandigarh, India will offer a dual-credential Computer Systems Technology-Bachelor of Computer Applications program.

This three-year (six-semester) program has a unique focus in wireless radio frequency (RF) technology for data communications. George Brown’s expertise in this field is confirmed by the College’s designation as a Cisco Regional Academy for Wireless Networking and Security. But that’s not all that makes this program a great choice. Students will be involved in real world projects for one or two days a week with our industry partners: making proposals, and then working in teams to plan projects, set schedules and achieve goals. In past years, students have helped develop IT solutions for hospitals, large corporations and major wireless telecommunications providers.

This program covers a variety of areas in wireless data communications including wireless local area networks, broadband communications (including WiMAX & IEEE 802.16), and narrowband cellular communications. Students are also introduced to voice network technologies and voice over internet protocol (VOIP) systems.

"George Brown’s Computer Systems Technology program truly reflects the ever changing technical environment within wireless communications. Students enrolled in this program gain valuable skills across several crucial areas. The combination of attaining and applying knowledge and skills through practical project placement within a diverse selection of technical companies is indispensable. This unique opportunity is beneficial to both the graduating student in their endeavour to secure entry-level positions and the potential employer by ensuring current exposure to the industry environment."
