I.  Training Objectives and Specifications

The training objective of the major is to cultivate students into high-quality talents with a strong sense of responsibility, a global vision and a solid theory base in the field of electronic information and communications. The students are expected to have a mastery of the basic skills and methods in this field, as well as the knowledge of other related disciplines. Also required to be possessed are the rudimentary concept of systems and the capability of integrated application. Innovative, team-player, of high comprehensive quality, they can be engaged in scientific research, technology development and management in the fields of electronic information and communications or in other related areas.

The major mainly fosters practical and research talents in the field of information engineering. The research talents with strong learning ability and research capacity may pursue a higher degree; while other talents with solid theoretical and practical abilities can go in for technology research, product development and technology management, etc.

 

II.         The Curriculum System

1.   General Education Courses

General education curriculum consists of three parts, namely, public courses, general education core courses and general education practices. A total of 48 credits are required: 25 credits in public courses including ideological and political courses, English and PE; 21 credits in general education core courses including 8 credits in humanities, 4 credits in social sciences, and 9 credits in natural sciences and engineering technology; 2 credits in general education practices.

2. Professional Education Courses

Professional education curriculum is composed of platform-based courses, professional compulsory courses and professional elective courses, totally 89 credits. During the study of professional courses (i.e. from the 5th to 7th semester), students are required to attend at least one professional course taught in English.

      A.   Platform-based Courses

Platform-based courses are divided into compulsory and elective courses. Students in this major are suggested to take the following three elective courses so as to meet requirements of the follow-up professional courses:

(1) Electromagnetic Fields and Microwave (4 credits)

(2) Signals and Systems (4 credits)

(3) Data Structures and Algorithms (4 credits) 

B. Professional Core (Compulsory) Courses

There are seven professional core courses, which are compulsory and total 25 credits.

C.   Professional Elective Courses

Professional elective courses are comprised of a course titled “Cutting-Edge Technology (Engineering) Inquiry in the Field of Electronic Information” and six course modules, each of which has 3-5 similar courses. Students are required to choose courses they are interested in from at least three modules, and the excess credits can meanwhile be transferred into individualized education credits.

3. Practical Education Courses

Practical education courses require a total of 53 credits, including 21 credits for compulsory and elective laboratory courses, 12 credits for compulsory and elective courses in internship and practice, 3 credits for military training, and 17 credits for graduation project.

4. Individualized Education Courses

Individualized education courses are electives at students’ choice and 20 credits are to be finished during their study. All credits count in this curriculum but those for the above three modules as in the major’s training program (i.e. modules of general education, professional education and practical education). To illustrate, credits for Individualized Education Courses include credits of minor courses and elective courses, excess credits of restricted electives, credits of professional electives with no credit requirements provided by some other majors, credits of College Basic English (3) and (4), and credits from the recognized extracurricular competitions and practical innovation projects such as PRP.

III.  Academic System, Graduation Requirements and Degree

The flexible academic system is applied in Information Engineering and lasts 4 to 6 years. Early graduation is allowed for students who have obtained 208 credits as required. Extended schooling within six years is also permissible. According to “Regulations Concerning Academic Degrees in the People’s Republic of China”, BE Degree will be granted to students who have completed the curricula and teaching practice as required in the major training program and obtained the required credits with qualified moral, intellectual and physical examination results.
