A general definition that allows us to approach the profile of an Engineer conceives him as the professional who, with a solid base in basic sciences, can integrate and project the principles of engineering to propose solutions to problems in the technological field using the formulation of mathematical models, design and calculation as tools.

In particular, the Telecommunications Engineer can be defined as a professional whose training enables him to plan, project, design and calculate systems, networks and services for the generation, transmission, detection, handling and management of telecommunications. It also includes solid training in the areas of administration and economics that enable you to direct, organize and operate telecommunications services and to execute, supervise and evaluate projects related to the area.

All available media are used, copper, fiber optics, radios and satellites, achieving scalable networks and rationalizing infrastructure investments.

In the last three years, the networks that have grown the most in capillarity and transport capacity are cell phone and Internet transport networks, which use all of the aforementioned technologies. Creating a revolution in communications between people and institutions like humanity has never enjoyed, allowing globalization and democratization of culture.

Another aspect of telecommunications is the progressive computerization of human activity, enabling the growth of other branches of human knowledge and activity. Although we still have cases where many countries cannot deploy communications networks and others where censorship is exercised, the future is promising.

Communications systems are designed to communicate through human sensory organs (mainly those of visual perception and sound perception), in which the psychological and physiological characteristics of human perception are taken into account, the most common example of which we can cite is the ringing sound that we hear when calling on the telephone, although technically it is not necessary if the person waiting to be attended needs it. On the other hand, systems are designed using the capacity of our sensory organs to integrate information, such as television transmission that uses the visual remanence of the eyes to transmit less information, lowering the cost of receivers and transmitters. The same happens with cell phones and VoIP communication using the Internet as a low-cost link.

Nowadays, in countries whose inhabitants have greater purchasing power, in the face of certain types of defects, despite being objectively reasonable based on cost-benefit, they demand from operators greater bandwidth in internet services, greater quality and sophistication of cellular telephony such as 3G, 4G, more sophisticated interface equipment with more and better functions. An example is cell phones, which today can include: video capture, camera, variety of alert tones, vibrator, trunking, voice recorder, WiMax internet, calendar and the ability to make payments like a credit card.

In any case, there is a compromise between cost reduction and the demands of users for high-quality systems, which is an important consideration in the design of these systems by large telecommunications operators who must unfailingly follow the regulations of the different governments and international organizations such as the ITU.

Telecommunications engineering degrees must bring together a series of specific competencies in order to train their students to practice the regulated profession of technical telecommunications engineer.[5]​[6]​.

Ignoring possible predecessors in Greek mythology, horseback messaging and smoke signals, telecommunications engineering as it is currently conceived began with telegraphy. Since its inception it has been deeply linked to signal electronics.

These are some historical milestones in which telecommunications engineering has been decisive, the vast majority of which occurred in the 20th century, contributing to the digital era:

In recent years and taking advantage of the development in the field of computing, it has experienced a very notable boom, inventing new branches based on digital transmission and reception systems, such as telematics and mobile telephony. The penetration of information and communication technologies (ICT) worldwide remains unstoppable, although unbalanced across continents, with 4 billion mobile phone subscriptions, 1.3 billion to fixed lines and nearly a quarter of the population to the Internet.[7]​.

In Spain, the profession of telecommunications engineering has its origins in 1920 when the teachings of the School of Telegraphy were reorganized into three different educational grades: elementary, middle and higher, in the style of university teaching, the last of which corresponds to the title of “Telecommunication Engineer”. [8]​.

Regulation in Spain is established through various regulations. Order CIN/355/2009[9]​ establishes the requirements of the study plans that lead to this profession. The statutes of the Official College of Telecommunications Engineers")[10]​ establish membership as an essential requirement for its practice in Spain.

Telecommunications engineers have powers to sign projects and direct work, both in the civil field and in construction. The most common projects signed by telecommunications engineers are those related to infrastructure for the deployment of telecommunications networks in the public and private domain, as well as all those related to the use of the radio spectrum.

In cultural areas influenced by Christian tradition, the patron saint of telecommunications, telegraph, telephone, radio and television engineers is the archangel Gabriel, whose holiday is celebrated every September 29. Saint Gabriel, who is also the patron saint of diplomatic, philatelic and radiological services, has been the patron saint of telecommunications since on January 12, 1951, Pope Pius XII named the patron angel of radio and communications.[11]​[12]​.
