Cultivation Plan of Communication Engineering in 2022

Ⅰ. Introduction to Communication Engineering Programme

The Communication Engineering Programme was founded in 2003 and was rated A in the comprehensive evaluation of undergraduate programs in Hunan Province in 2019. It was approved as a national-level first-class undergraduate program development sites in 2021. Communication Engineering Programme is designed to satisfy the needs of regional economic development, and cultivate engineering application-oriented innovative talents with solid foundation for know-how, strong capacity for practice, and the spirit of innovation. With the development of the college, a training model for "artificial intelligence + communication" composite talents has been gradually explored and formed. Centered with the core objective of enhancing students' hands-on abilities, an innovation-driven, program-based and capability-oriented teaching system has been established.

Ⅱ. Objectives

The CE programme aims to cultivate high-quality applied-type talents who can develop in a coordinated manner in terms of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, and aesthetics. The graduates should be adaptable to the requirements of social progress and the development of civilization, possess good professional ethics, and be capable of engaging in research and development, engineering and design, operation and maintenance, technical management, and education in the field of professional technology. For the online publicity content, please refer to the website of the College of Information Science and Engineering:  https://sise.hnie.edu.cn/ASIINrz.htm.

After four years of specialized study, graduates of CE programme should have a solid foundation in mathematics, natural sciences, as well as humanities and social sciences. They should master the professional knowledge in the field of communication and systematically complete engineering practice training. They have a correct understanding of self-exploration and learning, and can actively keep up with the development and changes of the social environment and the industry. They possess a certain international perspective, can read English literature, and have the ability to communicate in English regarding professional issues. Moreover, they should possess teamwork skills and basic enterprise management capabilities. They can understand and adhere to professional ethics and norms, have good humanistic qualities and a sense of social responsibility, as well as a sense of public service for the society. At the same time, they own a scientific spirit and an innovative awareness.
