Abstract
The engineering education in the higher education of China has been facing a number of challenges. In this work-in-progress paper, we proposed a telecommunication engineering pineline and carefully designed different modules of the curriculum for telecommunication engineering. In our program, students are required to accomplish various co-designed theory and practice modules in order to progressively develop a system perspective. We proposed 4 major streams based on the advantageous research directions of our school, including communication networks, mobile communications, future communications and space communications. Each major stream is designed systematically in a problem-oriented fashion. The courses in each stream are closely related and provide in-depth theoretical foundation and hands-on practices coherently driven by a major-oriented course project in each stream, which ensures that the students develop a comprehensive ability to design a communication system, component, or process by applying what they have learned in this telecommunication engineering pineline.
