With the Ministry of Education launching the New Engineering program in 2018,the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China has reformed a number of professional courses around the goal of the new engineering program and has achieved outstanding results. Computer Network,as a core course for talent cultivation of software engineering majors,has been drastically reformed in the form of course organization,teaching methods,and course contents. The problems existing in the traditional computer network course in terms of experimental teaching are firstly analyzed and the experimental reform of network courses in other colleges and universities is then investigated. On this basis,various measures taken by the course team in the reform of experimental teaching are introduced,including the design of new experiments,the improvement of experimental materials,and the addition of a more objective way of evaluation. Particularly,the experimental content through a variety of technologies is designed. The protocol verification experiments facilitate students’ comprehension of the protocols,the virtual simulation experiments address deficiencies in networking and device configuration,and the network programming experiments reinforce their engineering abilities in network coding. This multifaceted experimental approach not only fosters students’ interest in learning but also facilitates the integration of theory with practice,thereby enhancing their sense of learning acquisition. Finally,the experiences in the reform and outline the future work are summarized.
