Abstract: 1999 will prove to be one of the most challenging for our broadcast and radio frequency engineers. Current policies between FARB and the ABA are determined to define and provide digital services within the L-band around the year 2000. This combines with issues where telecommunications and broadcasting are converging to shifting the knowledge base from one of primarily electronics to one of telecommunications and network technologies particularly to on line encoding. There isn't a lot of difference now between a large computer network, a telephone digital network, and a broadcast network, particularly once you get up to the ISDN Primary rate service at 2MB/s and higher. They basically all use the same ITU recommendations in the ITU seven-layer model to frame the data. Replacing yesteryears Broadcasting Operators Certificate of Proficiency is a basic Diploma in Electronics with Broadcasting major. RMIT is still the leading engineering school within Australia and provides training within these areas. Lecture will provide examples of how different countries have converged to digital broadcasting at their own rate. For example, the diamond project in Canada, its dependence upon the digital Eureka 147 broadcasting system and how this has influenced their broadcasting training programs. Also the BBC their course structure for broadcast engineering, the difference to Australian requirements and how they are tackling training for beyond 2000. The dilemmas to teaching these specialist engineers will be outlined along with suggested solutions.
