Answer
The curriculum looks quite comprehensive. However, I have been retired for several years now, so I am not really aware of what the market is looking for these days. Also, it isn’t clear exactly what sort of work, if any, you are doing at the moment. If you are currently an electronics/communication engineer, you might consider adding more education in that field rather than branching off into Industrial Engineering.
