Edit this paragraph II. Professional comprehensive introduction

introduce

Have you noticed carefully that ten years ago, the "mobile phone" that gangsters could use to hit people in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies had already become so slim, light and colorful that it flew into the hands of ordinary people; Foreign relatives and friends who can only send books by flying pigeons in the past few months can exchange greetings, chat instantly and even set up webcams for online meetings through the simple and convenient Yi Meier! All this should be attributed to the rapid development of communication engineering technology. If scientists are asked to choose the fastest developing technology in the past decade, I am afraid it is also non-communication technology. Then let's learn more about this young and slightly "magical" major.

Professional profile

Communication technology is based on modern sound, light and electricity technology, supplemented by corresponding software to achieve the purpose of information exchange. At the end of last century, the wide spread of multimedia and the application of Internet greatly promoted the development of communication engineering. Looking forward to the beginning of this century, broadband technology and optical communication also came into being. The research content of communication engineering specialty covers the hottest and fastest-growing fields. Is that all that makes you want to try? Among the fastest growing companies in the United States, such as Cisco and 3Com, communication technology is the main body of their development, and the president of Cisco has also become the fastest growing person in the world. Does all this excite you? In China, not only Lenovo, an established IT manufacturer, provides a large number of network services, but also four major enterprises in the communication industry (Julong, Datang, ZTE and Huawei) known as "Greater China". Their good development prospects, relaxed development environment and modern enterprise management have become the first choice for graduates to choose jobs.

Occupational characteristics

Communication engineering specialty spans electronics and computer specialty, and the courses studied have the characteristics of both, which requires a good foundation in mathematics and physics and strong practical application ability. Some courses, such as data structure, operating system and database, belong to computers, others, such as signal processing, high-frequency circuits and circuit principles, belong to electronics, and there are courses based on communication principles of this major, which have a wide range of learning. Students are required to have strong logical thinking ability, which is especially suitable for those students who have strong understanding and are good at analysis. When the division of majors is relatively fine, majors can be "soft" or "hard", and tend to be in two directions: computer and electronics.

Professional advantage

Of course, this major is absolutely popular, and it is basically one of the majors with the highest admission scores. Among many universities, communication engineering majors in Tsinghua University, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Southeast University, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Xi Jiaotong University, Beijing Jiaotong University, xidian university and Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications are quite hot. If candidates are confident in their own strength, choosing this major will not only disappoint you, but also make you proud when you graduate.

Employment situation

Due to the rapid development of this industry, there is a great demand for talents, so IT is very easy for you to enter an internationally renowned multinational company or a well-known IT company in China, and the treatment is quite generous, which can be called the "easiest to find a good job" major. Due to the rapid and sustainable development of the global communication industry, this major is also one of the hottest majors abroad. Therefore, it is relatively difficult to go abroad for further study, but there are still many opportunities to go abroad for further study after entering a large multinational company. In addition to famous universities, Institute of Electronics of Chinese Academy of Sciences is also a good place to complete graduate degrees. Choosing a major in communication engineering can already be equated with "a bright future". This is a real "sunrise industry" and "knowledge economy", which can sweat enthusiastically, overcome difficulties and meet success. In such a major, you will have a more personal experience of those fashionable words. I hope those candidates who are full of confidence in their own strength will bravely choose and embrace glory with the information age!

Edit the third paragraph. Vocational education development

research contents

Communication engineering majors mainly study signal generation, information transmission, exchange and processing, as well as theoretical and engineering applications in computer communication, digital communication, satellite communication, optical fiber communication, cellular communication, personal communication, stratospheric communication, multimedia technology, information superhighway and digital program-controlled exchange. With the invention of telegraph by Americans in the19th century, modern communication technology came into being. In order to meet the increasing technical demand, communication engineering has become a subject in American university education, and it has developed rapidly with the continuous improvement of modern technology.

Professional development

The predecessor of domestic communication specialty is electrical engineering and electrical engineering. Beijing Jiaotong University is the birthplace of electronic information education in China. 1909 Beijing jiaotong university (national chiao tung university Beijing school) offered the course of "radio" for the first time, which initiated the training of communication talents in China. Later, the department of telecommunications was established, and a large number of well-known scholars such as Academician Jian were produced. Shanghai Jiaotong University set up a "radio gate" in 19 17 electrical engineering specialty, and then set up a "wired communication and wireless communication gate" in 192 1. 1952 after the adjustment of the department, the "Ministry of Telecommunications" was established. 1934 Tsinghua University established a telecommunication group in the Department of Electrical Engineering. 1952, Tsinghua University and Peking University Department of Electrical Engineering merged to form Tsinghua University Department of Radio Engineering. This can be said to be the type of communication engineering specialty. The influential figures in this period are Tsinghua University Ren, Zhu Lancheng, Zhang Mingtao, Fan Xuyun and Zhang. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, on the basis of the original telecommunications engineering, electrical engineering, radio electronics and other majors, all relevant schools have accumulated strong strength for the training of modern communication engineering and technical personnel. During this period, scholars such as Zhang Enqiu, Wang Shouwu, Hu Hanquan, Wu Hongshi and Wang Qian were active in the teaching field of this major. In the 1960s and 1970s, the major of communication engineering changed greatly under the impact of the Cultural Revolution. For example, in Tsinghua University, most of the electronic engineering departments of 1969 moved to Mianyang, Sichuan, and established Mianyang Branch in Tsinghua University. /kloc-moved back to Beijing in 0/978, and resumed the establishment of radio electronics department. In order to broaden the professional orientation, adapt to the needs of scientific and technological development, and adjust the professional settings, three undergraduate majors are added: radio technology and information system, physical electronics and photoelectric technology, and microelectronics. During this period, a number of outstanding scholars emerged, such as Academician Wu. As an electronic scientist and an electronic engineering educator, he is one of the pioneers in the field of digital communication in China. He has been engaged in the research of digital communication and data transmission, digital signal processing and pattern recognition for a long time. As early as 1958, he successfully developed the first eight-channel pulse code modulation telephone terminal equipment in China, and the data transmitter successfully developed by 1952 was used in the first artificial satellite in China. Academician Zhu has been engaged in the scientific research of communication system for a long time. From 1950s to 1970s, he participated in and presided over the overall design and development of a large number of communication carrier transmission systems, and achieved manufacturing results. At that time, it was in a leading position in China and close to the advanced level in the world. In particular, the first set of central axis cable 1800 carrier communication system in China, which is responsible for the overall design, is the main component of the whole carrier communication system in China. It can transmit telephone, telegraph, fax, broadcast, data and other services at the same time, which is one of the advanced transmission means adopted abroad at that time. A lot of fruitful work has been done in the construction of national long-distance automatic telephone network, network operation mode and network operation mode, and the independent position of telecommunication network discipline has been established. In the 1980s, the hurricane of information revolution from developed countries such as the United States, Japan and Britain added a strong impetus to the development of communication engineering specialty in China, and since then, communication engineering specialty has its current name. Due to the rapid rise of information superhighway, communication technology plays an increasingly important role in the development of national economy, and the state has also increased its investment in this area. All colleges and universities have courses of this major or similar majors, and a large number of laboratories have also entered the university campus. For example, State Key Laboratory of Regional Optical Fiber Network and New Optical Communication System, Communication Laboratory, Digital Signal Processing Laboratory and Electronic Technology Laboratory of Shanghai Jiaotong University. In addition, a large number of key universities, such as Nanjing University, Zhejiang University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing Jiaotong University, China University of Science and Technology, Southeast University, Tongji University and Fudan University, have made important contributions to the cultivation of outstanding talents in this major.

Admission and employment

Due to the extensive demand for talents in society, the enrollment of this major is very large every year. Each school enrolls an average of 200-300 students each year, and some schools even have more. The education level ranges from junior college and undergraduate course to master's degree and doctor's degree, and some schools also have postdoctoral mobile stations, forming a cascade training mode for talents. Despite this, the annual graduates of this major are still in short supply.

New period characteristics

In the new period, a large number of outstanding experts and scholars have emerged. For example, Academician Zhou Bingxun of Tsinghua University took the lead in "Research on Crystal Fiber Growth and Crystal Fiber Devices" in China. Its "Narrow Linewidth Tunable Semiconductor Laser and Related Technologies" has passed seven appraisal results, and its linewidth, frequency stability and tuning range have reached the international advanced level, making an important contribution to the development of coherent optical communication. It has reached the international advanced level in the research of "optical fiber high temperature sensor", optical fiber ring cavity fineness and ring laser. In addition, Professor Lu Da is in signal and information processing; Professor Feng is engaged in digital communication, voice signal processing and digital multiplexing. Professor Yao Yan's field is signal detection, estimation and identification and its application in electronic systems, high-speed real-time information processing and systems; Professor Cao Zhigang is engaged in digital modulation, coding and satellite communication, voice enhancement and digital signal processing technology; Professor Lin Xinggang has made outstanding contributions in the fields of intelligent graphic information processing and recognition, image compression and multimedia data, multimedia communication and terminal technology. These experts and professors paved the way for China's modern communication career to March into the 2 1 century.

Future prospects

Facing the new century, communication engineering specialty will usher in a broad development world. With the more and more extensive application of communication technology, there are all kinds of technical talents in this major, from space to seabed. Now that China has joined the WTO, it will certainly bring more room for the development of China's information industry. The shortage of communication engineering professionals has become a very unfavorable factor for China to participate in international competition. Therefore, in the next few years, China will pay more attention to the cultivation of professional talents, pay more attention to communication engineering education and improve the education level.

Employment direction

Career path of communication technology R&D personnel: R&D personnel → R&D engineers → senior market or management personnel: A few years ago, the communication industry was in the spring, and the R&D field provided many high-paying positions. Even today, the R&D positions of well-known enterprises such as Huawei, ZTE and UT Starcom are still very competitive. However, such companies and positions are too few compared with the increasing number of graduates in our major every year. The reasons are not only the decrease in the demand for talents directly brought about by the scale of the communication industry and the stagnation of market development, but also the attitude of colleges and universities towards the setting of communication majors: "Go if conditions permit." -Many schools actually don't have the strength to offer this major. The key lies in teachers and experimental equipment. But even so, we should not lose heart. After all, as far as our major is concerned, it is difficult for undergraduates to meet the employment requirements of enterprises once they graduate. Therefore, the criteria for many enterprises to select new employees are "solid professional foundation, open mind, good English and a little creativity". Analysis and suggestion: "The university can get graduation certificate, degree certificate, band 6 and computer certificate in four years, and everything else depends on mixing." There is a popular view among graduates nowadays. I personally don't think so. At least graduates majoring in communication-most companies will take a major when recruiting. Just like the school exam, I can cram for the last minute, but I have a deep understanding of how good the effect is: I took the recruitment exam for the first time after graduation that year, with seven questions-involving analog circuits, digital circuits, mobile communications, high-frequency electronic circuits and C language. The topic is very basic, but it covers a wide range, so you can't solve the problem before the exam. Even if you get away with it, because he may ask you carefully about your solution ideas in the next interview (later the supervisor told me that ideas are more important than answers). More importantly, they won't give you the key points before the exam like your teacher. As long as you show a little professional skills in the test paper, your application can be said to be "over". Key courses: circuit theory and application, computer technology, signal and system, electromagnetic field theory, digital system and logic design, digital signal processing, communication principle, etc. The specialized course of assembly and composition principle is still necessary and can be used in practical work. We can't be required to be proficient in every subject, but at least we can learn a little-you can choose two or three courses that interest you. About English. The relationship between communication engineering and English is not particularly close, but most of the well-paid communication companies are foreign companies. Even a domestic-funded enterprise like Huawei requires a six-level recruitment-in the case of a particularly large choice, enterprises will naturally raise the entry threshold. About creativity. The creativity here can actually be explained as novel ideas and design development consciousness. Therefore, compared with other activities organized by the school, it is a good exercise for us to participate in such activities as the electronic design competition. Remember, when writing a work or an award-winning design on your resume, you should carefully prepare the design ideas, including the problems in the design process, as well as the solutions and principles. If you have a good understanding of single chip microcomputer and circuit, you can try to make a board yourself to prepare for the development of single chip microcomputer after graduation, and then accumulate experience in your work and learn the knowledge of embedded system. This technical route is more suitable. Technology going to market (management) is the home of many R&D personnel. Because with the growth of age, the learning ability declines, coupled with the bottleneck of R&D department's work design and strong technical foundation, engineers are choosing to do technical support, customer service and management of technical departments for a period of time (technical background has obvious advantages for this management: in such a high-tech department, who will serve a leader who can't even read the circuit diagram? Finally, on the eve of 3G, if you can master the basic knowledge of this technology, it should be of great benefit to employment. Here, we recommend a certification-Motorola Institute of Engineering is the first to launch a public technology course system for wireless communication-MCNE (Motorola Certified Network Engineer/Motorola Certified Wireless Network Engineer) course series, as well as the relevant wireless talent certification standards and (for reference only, please judge and choose carefully according to your own situation. The career path of communication product sales staff: sales assistant → sales engineer → sales (marketing) manager. Talent market: the demand is large, and the requirements for professional skills are not particularly deep, which is suitable for ordinary undergraduates. The most important thing is to have enough room for career development. If it really doesn't work, you can switch to other industries and continue to do sales. Analysis and suggestions: including the sales of various upstream equipment and communication equipment. For the sales of upstream equipment, enterprises attach great importance to professional background when recruiting, so they must have a comprehensive understanding of some basic professional courses of communication. I suggest that those students who want to do sales practice before graduation and try to go to the R&D department of the enterprise-it is unwise to compete with marketing students in sales professional knowledge, and they should strengthen the core advantages of professional background. In addition, it is natural to cultivate communication ability, marketing ability and planning ability. There are many students in the university who disdain to work in the student union. Actually, I don't know if you can learn anything else there. It is a good way to cultivate your communication and organizational skills, especially when you have achieved a certain position through your own efforts. As for reading professional books on sales, I personally think it is better to read professional magazines and newspapers. The former is almost pure theory and blunt, while the latter is theory plus practice. What you can start preparing at school is to learn to do marketing planning-you can download some excellent planning and planning projects on the Internet, and learn slowly according to it. This is what you must use at work, and some companies may do the same in the written test. Finally, regular planning can help you form a good habit: always organize your thoughts and analyze things in an orderly way. Staff of telecom operators: career path: staff → supervisor → talent market of middle and senior managers: the entry threshold for service posts of operators is low, so in some areas, the talents of companies such as China Mobile and China Unicom are close to saturation. Even though several major operators publish large-scale campus recruitment plans every year, the graduates majoring in communication have no obvious advantages. However, in recent years, due to the rise of network broadband, it has brought a lot of employment opportunities to the weak job market. In short, if we are not too picky, it should not be difficult to find a job after graduation. More importantly, if you work as a salesman in an operator, your future career path will be much broader than that of doing it-you can switch to selling other products or services. Analysis and suggestions: to do equipment maintenance in operators, one is to stand by in the operator's computer room at any time, and the other is to work under the base station maintenance agent. The following work is to maintain the normal operation of the base station: for example, if the base station is out of power, you need to start the standby power supply, replace parts and carry out normal inspection; Even if the wind blows, the antenna is crooked and within the working range. If your David Chamber of Commerce doesn't invite some workers to help you, the maintenance of the base station is relatively hard. The greatest demand is still for service jobs, such as account manager, market development and so on. Although this kind of job recruitment generally does not require professional background, in any case, between you and other professional applicants with the same conditions, the opportunity should be more for you. Doing sales, marketing or customer service in operators requires the same quality as ordinary salesmen. First of all, you should have good communication skills (how to impress the examiner to hire you in the interview process is the best challenge opportunity), and then learning ability (more and more enterprises pay more attention to the plasticity of graduates and whether they can quickly integrate into the working environment and corporate culture when recruiting on campus). In this way, many students will find the problem they face: they will blush when talking to strangers-the solution is: take part in more group activities and chat with people, which will be a bit embarrassing at first, but after one or two times, you will be very confident.
