Ⅲ. Characteristics of the Specialty Education

1The major is to study the basic theory and professional knowledge of cable and wireless communication technologies, focusing on communication signal modulation, coding, wireless and cable transmission.

2The course system is in accordance with the Chinese engineering education certification standard: in the field of engineering foundation knowledge, it contains five core areas circuit, electronic circuit / electronic technology, electromagnetic field and electromagnetic field and electromagnetic wave, computer technology, signal and system analysis and so on; in the field of the basis professional knowledge, it contains digital signal processing, communication technology, circuits and systems for communications and information network in four areas of knowledge. And it enhances the teaching of Signals and Systems, Digital Communication Principle, Digital Signal Processing, Electromagnetic Field and Electromagnetic Wave, Communication Circuits and Systems, Mobile Communication System, The Microprocessor and Interface Technology basic theoretical courses, and sets the similar course into the basic platform according to first level discipline;

3In the personnel training, it focuses on the improvement of students’ practical abilities, relying on the advantages of the provincial teaching and specialized laboratories to strengthen the professional knowledge of learning and capacity-building, strives to make the students' knowledge structure to adapt the IT expertise needs.

4Strengthen practice teaching and the practical ability to reflect the engineering characteristics. Create a practice teaching system composed of technology training, course experiment, curriculum design, manufacturing practice, integrated curriculum design and graduate design. Based on this to build an experimental environment - “large communication” network, and according to the functional structure of the experimental platform and the technical focus point of the experimental content, set up four large-scale integrated design modules - Signal modulation, Signal coding, Wireless transmission and Network transmission. Focus on training students’ ability of discovering, analyzing and solving problems in communication networks, cultivating students' overall and systematic communication network concepts, and enhancing their professional knowledge application ability.
