Abstract

Taking “Analog Integrated Circuit Analysis and Design”, the key course of the integrated circuit major, as an example, this paper proposes a new engineering course teaching method based on “elements aggregation” for the cultivation of high-level integrated circuit engineering talents. The aim of this method is to realize the organic integration of the three-dimensional space of knowledge, ability and competence, and the organic integration of basic theory, scientific discovery ability and engineering application ability. The proposed teaching method ensures a multidimensional and composite high-quality engineering talent cultivation in integrated circuits in higher education institutions.
