Analyzing computer and wireless technologies for insertion and integration into current and emerging communications products. Developing presentations and communicating technologies for use in meetings, briefings, and organizational settings. -OR EDUCATION: A. Master's or equivalent graduate degree from an accredited institution that included major study in professional engineering. -OR B. Two (2) full years of progressively higher-level graduate education leading to a master's degree from an accredited institution that included major study in professional engineering. -OR COMBINATION OF EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE: A. To combine education and experience, determine your total qualifying experience as a percentage by dividing your total months of qualifying experience by 12. Then determine your education as a percentage by dividing the total number of completed graduate education beyond the first year (total graduate education minus 18 semester hours or 27 quarter hours) by 18 semester hours or 27 quarter hours.
