Abstract
Wireless Mobile Communication is a core compulsory course for undergraduate students majoring in communication engineering. Traditional teaching mainly focuses on theoretical instruction, and practical links mostly carry out verification operations around knowledge points such as modulation and demodulation and channel characteristics, with forms dominated by software simulation and fixed experimental box verification. The course content has a low degree of integration with cutting-edge industrial applications such as wireless sensing, resulting in undergraduate students’ limited cognition of the multi-dimensional application value of wireless signals. In response to this situation, this paper explores the reform path of integrating wireless sensing technology into undergraduate course teaching. Relying on the millimeter-wave radar experimental platform, application-oriented demonstration projects such as gesture recognition and human gait detection are designed, and a layered teaching framework from principle verification to scenario implementation and innovative expansion is constructed, supported by in-class discussion and group cooperative inquiry activities. Preliminary teaching practice shows that this reform has effectively improved undergraduate students’ enthusiasm for course participation, helped students deepen their understanding of core knowledge such as channel characteristics and signal processing, and has a positive effect on cultivating undergraduates’ engineering practice awareness and innovative thinking. It can provide reference for the teaching reform of similar communication courses for undergraduates.
