Abstract: "Microwave Technology and Antenna" is an important professional foundation course of electronic information engineering and communication engineering, which has a strong theoretical and practical nature. In order to adapt to the transformation of some application-oriented universities guided by the Ministry of Education and change the situation that theoretical teaching is difficult to meet the expected teaching objectives, this paper explores teaching reform of microwave technology and antenna course. The CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement and Operate) engineering education model is adopted to reform practical aspects of the course. Through the practice of four stages of CDIO, the system and platform of practical course is constructed and the examination system is innovated to achieve the training goals of high-quality applied engineering talents.

Key words: CDIO, Microwave technology, Antenna, Teaching reform
