Revamping Telecommunication Engineering Curriculum in Kenya – Survey

Education system in Kenya is a field highly recognized by institutions in Kenya and even beyond. The grading of Kenyan education system is leveled from CPE/KCPE, KSE/KCSE, Diploma, HND, Undergraduate/ bachelors, Masters and PHD being the highest in Kenya. This survey is based on enrolment and employment patterns of telecommunication engineers. It also focuses on graduates with diploma, HND and Undergraduate levels from high learning institutions like ten tertiary institutions and universities. The employment pattern is taken over fifty industrial sectors between year 2000 and 2020. In ancient times, engineering skills were used to design and develop working tools for people. The definition of engineering is a field of discipline and art relating to growth, attainment, and submission. The uniform sample size will give a linear data that is analyzed using descriptive statistics, linear regression analysis and one-way ANOVA to find the viability in including ICT in telecommunication engineering courses. The main variables will be telecommunication with ICT as independent variable and employment and or enrolment as dependent variables. The expectation from this new design of the course would be more students' enrolment and relevancy to dynamic technological market and perfect telecommunication engineers, well equipped with hardware and software of communication equipment in the modern market. In totality an improved telecommunication engineers' enrolment index and a wide range of employment opportunities, ranging from hardware designers and repairs to communication equipment programmers in the market.
