Communication Engineering is about the application of technology to solve societal needs. The mission of the major of Communication Engineering in ZUST is to produce communication engineers with the educational foundation and adaptive skills to serve rapidly evolving communication and electrical technology industries. Communication engineers are the people responsible for designing the systems and components that capture, store, process, interpret, and transmit information or signals.
Some of the most significant technological advances of the 20th century were either invented or put into practice by communication engineers, including electric power systems; global broadcast and personal telecommunication systems; medical instrumentation, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); integrated circuits; lasers; household appliances; and feedback control, such as for autopilots. New technologies developed by communication engineers are likely to be even more important in the 21st century as a new era of intelligent, information-driven systems is made possible by fundamental advances in faster communication rates, smaller devices, and greater computational capabilities.
The Communication Engineering major in ZUST was established in 1980s and has progressed rapidly to become one of the key construction majors of Zhejiang Province of China. We provide diverse curricula that will instill in our students the imagination, talents, creativity, and skills necessary for the varied and rapidly changing requirements of modern life. A new information and communications technology (ICT) integration center of production and education was established in April 2018 together with ZTE Corporation. ZTE Corporation is a global leader in telecommunications and information technology, who has been committed to providing communication devices and service over 160 countries around the world. There are four labs in our ICT center with a total investment of over ten million RMB, including LTE mobile communication lab, Cloud communication lab, Data communication lab and PTN network communication lab. Without a doubt, ICT center will greatly help improve our students’ practical ability and provide more employment opportunities. There are 12 full-time teachers in the major, 33.3% with senior titles, 41.6% with doctor’s degree, 33.3% with foreign country study or work experience and 33.3% are National or Provincial funded projects principle investigator.
After four years of study in Communication Engineering, about 15% of the students pursue the graduate program, and the rest are qualified as software engineers, hardware engineers, network engineers or project managers, who can go to the communications, electronics, information technology companies such as ZTE, Huawei, Alibaba and etc. The software engineers are mainly engaged in the software program design, programming and debugging of the project. Hardware engineers are mainly engaged in hardware design and measurement of electronic and communication systems. Network engineers are mainly engaged in the design optimization and maintenance of communication networks. The project managers are responsible for the design and implementation of the planning communication system.
At present, communication technology industry is in rapid development, all kinds of new information systems such as mobile internet, internet of things, car networking, unmanned vehicle, unmanned aerial vehicles, smart phones and the corresponding information services such as mobile payment emerge in endlessly, this requires a lot of communication engineering talents, so the employment prospect continues to be optimistic.
