“工程实践与科技创新”是一项包含四个阶段的系列课程，通过强化的实验操作训练，帮助学生获得一定的工程研发体验。引导学生在解决工程实际问题中提升测量技巧、工程设计能力和高效率团队协作能力。

“工程实践与科技创新IIIA(卓工)”是专为“卓越工程师培养计划”设计的第三阶段课程模块。它与合作企业共建，由合作企业提出中等难度的工程实际问题作为课程任务。这些任务可以包括但不限于电子通信工程领域、信息安全工程领域、计算科学工程领域的真实课题，可能涉及的工程技术有电子电路、嵌入式及移动应用、大数据分析、网络安全、信息化、物联网等。

要求学生具有电路设计、程序设计的基础知识和基本实验技能，并具备一定的工程系统综合设计能力。

学生以多人为小组开展项目工作。小组得分中，平时活动参与度评价约占10%，实验工程原型作品评价约占65%，设计报告评价约占25%。组长负责给出组内成员贡献程度评分，作为个人得分的重要依据。

Engineering Practice and Technology Innovation is a series of laboratory courses including four stages, which are designed to help undergraduates obtain engineering research and development experiences by intensive laboratory training. The course guides the students to improve their measurement skills, design abilities and to build capacity for high performance teamwork in solving practical engineering problems.

Engineering Practice and Technology Innovation Part IIIA for OEEPisone of the third stage course modules, which is specially designed for the National Outstanding Engineer Education Program. It is jointly sponsored by the co-operative enterprises. The industrial enterprises propose practical engineering subjects with medium difficulty, which would include but not be limited to some real-world problems in engineering fields of electronic communication, information security and computer science, and may involve technologies of electronic circuit, embedded and mobile system application, big data analytics, network security, informatization, internet of things, etc.

Some fundamental knowledge of electronic circuits design and program design as well as basic experimental skills is supposed to be the prerequisite.

The students are required to implement their projects among a three-member group. Grading for engineering prototypes makes up approximately 65% of final grade for each group, while those for participation in ordinary activities and design reports make up10% and 25% respectively. Furthermore the group leaders are required to evaluate each member’s contribution, which will be a significant hint of final grade for each student.
