Abstract: The development and innovation of surveying and mapping instrumentation is not only an important part in the training of undergraduate engineering talents in the current surveying and mapping informatization phase, but also the basic requirement for solving “complex engineering problems” in the certification of standard engineering education. The comprehensive design training of instrumentation system effectively develops the ability of solving “complex engineering problems” for the engineering college students. With the connotation of “complex engineering problems” in professional certification clarified in this paper, the design method of comprehensive training experiment content for instrumentation system is introduced, the relationship between design tasks and “complex engineering problems” is organized, and the practical curriculum content is optimized based on the class feedback. In this case, the trains for the capacity of solving “complex engineering problems” are realized in practice, which provides the benchmark to formulate the training program for major of surveying and mapping, instrumentation, et al. and meets the requirements of certification standards in engineering education.

Key words: engineering education, complex engineering problems, surveying and mapping instrumentation, professional certification, robot innovative design
