This study focuses on the teaching reform of the communication application development course based on the core requirements of engineering education accreditation. To address key challenges such as the disconnection between software and hardware teaching and insufficient practical skills among students, a project-driven “learning-practice-application” teaching model is proposed. By optimizing course content, innovating teaching methods, and introducing university-industry collaboration mechanisms, the reform aligns the curriculum more closely with engineering education standards and industry demands. The approach significantly enhances students’ comprehensive skills, practical abilities, and employability. This study provides theoretical foundations and practical strategies for the teaching reform of courses in communication engineering.
