Subsequently, deputy directors of teaching of all institutes (centers) reported the research and discussion results on the seven aspects of "strengthening the construction of the postgraduate curriculum system, promoting the undergraduate and postgraduate connection, increasing the intensity of international cooperation and exchanges in postgraduate training, further promoting professional degree postgraduate training, strengthening the construction of postgraduate supervisors, continuing to do a good job in the whole-process quality management after the revision of the standards for postgraduates to apply for degrees, and strengthening the ideological and political education of postgraduates". Wang Yue, Deputy Director of Teaching of the Institute of Information Detection, proposed suggestions on the incubation of new courses for postgraduates and proposed that in terms of the training of professional masters and engineering doctors, supervisors should be helped accurately understand the training plan through cases to better implement the corresponding training plan. Li Guolin, Deputy Director of Teaching of the Institute of Circuit, mainly introduced problems existing in curriculum construction and emphasized that the professional basic courses of postgraduates should be taken as a vital to further promote the construction of course contents and the compilation of textbooks. Zhang Wei, Deputy Director of Teaching of the Institute of Information handgrip Technology, pointed out that in the aspect of curriculum construction, the frontier progress of the major should be combined to optimize the course contents; while in the aspect of professional master training, the evaluation standards for the training quality should be further clarified. Zhong Xiaofeng, Deputy Director of Teaching of the Institute of Communications put forwards many constructive suggestions in terms of training period, time arrangement, and responsibility clarification around the professional degree master training. Li Maokun, Deputy Director of Teaching of the Institute of Microwave & Antenna, gave some suggestions on the specific implementation methods of the undergraduate and postgraduate connection. Ma Hongbing, Deputy Director of Teaching of the Institute of Image Communication, mainly introduced the construction results of postgraduate courses, and proposed suggestions such as "strengthening the sorting of curriculum knowledge systems, highlighting curriculum characteristics, and learning foreign curriculum construction experience".

Deputy Chair of the Department Shen Yuan introduced the training of professional masters of the innovation and entrepreneurship in the Department of Electronic Engineering. In the early stage of the training, problems such as "deviation of topics from the training goals, deviation of dissertation work from the industrial direction of the base, and imperfect base management" occurred. After 3 years of training exploration and reform, through measures such as strict control of dissertation proposals, and classes opened together with enterprises, the training quality of professional masters is improving continuously.
