As a result of the remarkable speed of the recent technology advancement, major innovations should be proposed for the engineering laboratory contents and delivery methods. Since telecommunications are science centered, it is essential that the telecom engineering laboratory takes as its main goal the development of skills requisite to the execution of experiments and the promotion of an understanding of the relationship between theory and practical. This paper will explore the importance of fusing theory and practical in a curriculum for telecom engineering students by highlighting the contents and method of delivery of the Advanced Transmission Systems laboratory given for telecommunication engineering students at the Holy-Spirit University of Kaslik. This laboratory combines antennas design, telephony and optical communications. Although early indications of students response have stimulated great eagerness among the teaching staff, the evaluation of the combination of three communication subjects in a single laboratory, the sessions contents and the delivery method is a continuous process.
