Well there is a engineering book called The Difinitive Guide volume 2 by Paul L. Copeland. It's orange and yellowish, but I'm pretty sure it also comes in red and yellow. Anyway it has a chapter on Telecommunications and the first few pages of the chapter it has some information of training for Telecommunications, but it probably isn't very detailed.
I'll type it up for you.
"To embark on a tertiary course in telecommunications engineering, an HSC student should be looking at subjects such as 2U Maths, Phys, Chem and Engineering Studies. There are telecommunication engineering courses at some uni's (University of Sydney, UTS, University of Newcastle). The courses are bachelor degrees. Telecommunication enigineers learn about electronics, computers and must be familiar with networks and associated equipment. In fact, in some courses the first two years of a telecommunications engineering degree will be common with electrical and computer engineering."
That's all it say on training for telecommunication engineering.

Electronics & Telecommunications Engineering
Electronics engineering deals with devices and systems that use small amounts of electrical energy to analyse, transmit and store information.
Transmission of these electronic signals forms the basis of communications and the information technology industry, and includes the field of microelectronics and the use of silicon chip technology. Various systems for communication between people both nearby and on the other side of the world have been developed and are constantly being improved and refined. This communication takes place using satellite, telephone, optical fibres and computer systems. These systems are of vital importance in everyday communication, defence, transport, civil aviation & medical equipment such as the bionic ear, pacemakers and life support systems.
People who specialise as electronics engineers may work in such industries as communications, broadcasting, aviation, defence, robotics, computers, medical engineering or meteorology. Many electronics engineers are now finding more opportunities in entertainment, transport and telecommunications industries. Data communications, mobile radio and the broader entertainment industry all require the input of electronics engineers. An example of one growth area is the use of satellites and cable systems in Pay Television. The transport sector is employing more electronics engineers as the vehicles and the systems controlling them become more automated.
Electronics engineers in the field of communications may be responsible for the operation of satellite television transmission, or for the smooth running of telephone switching exchanges. Often these systems or operations are monitored using complicated panels of instruments. It is the responsibility of the electronics engineer to find and correct faults quickly and to ensure the smooth working of the operation.
Electronics engineering is a very diverse field and it is currently undergoing expansion as new applications are found for electronic equipment. This has led to the development of two relatively new fields of engineering - software engineering and mechatronics.

Question 4.
What specific engineering experiences has this person had that enhanced this career?
A few of the many engineering experiences that have enhanced this person's career are:
* systems development in optical fibre transmission networks
* management of teams of consultants for large telecommunications projects
* advising government on legislative requirements for the industry
* significant experience in the satellite communications industry
* project responsibility over a wide range of different communications installations.

Career Prospects
Rapid technological development in global telecommunication industry and business present exciting career opportunities for telecommunication engineering graduates. Graduates from this program will have acquired leading-edge knowledge and skills in telecommunication technologies. They will also have further developed effective oral and written communication skills, teamwork skills, and business and management skills. They are therefore well prepared for career advancement and leadership roles in the telecommunication industry.
In the private sector, they may work in the design, manufacture and supply of telecommunication products, systems and services. Their functions may span from technical experts, technical or business mangers, to executive officers. They may also establish their own business operating in the local and international telecommunication market.

i think u get the drift now, i also suggest looking on University Sites, in their handbooks since they'll definately have information relating to Career prospects etc.
Also look at company websites such as telstra, Optus (Basically ne telecommunications/electrics company).
Seek.com.au is also a good site to look at since its a job site looking for people who have telecommuncations qualifications...
as for the copeland book, from memory you should be able to find it from Dymocks book stores. if u can't find it there try Yorks or Argyle St in Parramatta, they'll definately have it since they supply textbooks to schools
