Subject direction and professional hotspot of communication engineering specialty

The subject direction and major hotspots of communication engineering are introduced as follows:

1. Professional introduction:

Category: engineering, subject: electronic information, educational system: four years, optional subject: physics.

Communication engineering mainly studies the basic theory, composition principle and design method of communication technology, communication system and communication network, so as to design, develop, debug and apply modern communication systems and networks. For example, the development of mobile communication from 2G/3G/4G to 5G, the design of communication systems such as telephone network, internet of things and car network, and the development and maintenance of wireless local area network (WiFi).

2. Employment prospects:

1. Hardware direction: PCB plate-making engineer, RF engineer, FPGA engineer and EDA engineer.

2. software direction: embedded software engineer, driver engineer, protocol software engineer, FAE (technical support) engineer and communication network engineer.

3. Non-R&D category: test engineer, verification engineer, sales agent.

Third, focus on applying for the exam:

Do you recommend learning?

It is highly recommended for three reasons:

① The employment salary is high. Looking at all majors, the average employment salary of communication engineering major can rank in the top ten, which is the most direct recommendation reason.

② the technical level determines the quality of employment. The only indicator that can determine the employment quality of graduates is the technical level, which provides a very fair competitive platform for students of this major. Whoever has good skills will earn more money.

③ Professional barriers are high. If you don't study communication engineering, it's very difficult for you to enter the profession through the cross-examination graduate students.

which students are suitable for the exam?

It is suitable for students who meet the following conditions: ① Good grades in mathematics and physics. ② Strong self-study ability.

Communication engineering is based on circuit and electromagnetic field, which requires students to have a solid electrical foundation; Because the specialized course of communication engineering will involve signal processing, students are required to have strong mathematical thinking, especially advanced mathematical thinking.

Specific jobs usually require students to skillfully use one or two software and hardware development tools, and some of them, such as FPGA, will be involved in college courses, but they are not deeply studied, so they often need to study by themselves.

Representative employers:

1. Central enterprises and state-owned enterprises: China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom, China Electronics and Information Industry Group, China Post, State Grid, etc.

2. Private enterprises: Huawei, ZTE, JD.COM, Tencent, Alibaba, Baidu, etc.

3. Foreign capital and Sino-foreign joint ventures: Ericsson, Qualcomm and other scientific research institutes of universities and enterprises.

Fourth, college academic advice:

Accumulate more project experience

As mentioned earlier, it is the technical level that determines the quality of employment, and the best way to accumulate technical level is to follow the project. Ways include doing scientific research with teachers, participating in various competitions for college students, and internships in related enterprises during winter and summer vacations.

Reasonable planning time

There are many specialized courses in communication engineering, and the courses are difficult, accompanied by many experimental teaching. Students should plan their study time reasonably when studying, and try not to leave all the review tasks in the exam week.

do you want to go to graduate school?

If the starting point of your undergraduate college has not reached the level of 211, it is recommended to take the postgraduate examination in 211 college. This is done in order to get employment tickets to enter big factories, and investigate the recruitment trends of head enterprises. You will find that college graduates with 211 or above account for a large part of the employment.

If the starting point of your undergraduate college is high enough and you have abundant project experience during your study, you don't have to go to graduate school. The starting salary of the same master's degree is slightly higher than that of undergraduates. In essence, it is actually subsidizing the learning cost of the master's degree for three years. As for the promotion and salary increase in the enterprise, it depends on personal ability.
