With the rapid development of China ’s globalization, improving English communication skills has become increasingly important nowadays. The first step to enhance English skills is through implementations of English courses of collegestudents,which is usually given in the first two years of the four-year undergraduateprogram. However,for students whose majors are engineering,the college English courses play limited roles in their future careers,even though those courses arenecessary for improving their common-life communication skills. The second stepis through professional English courses,which provide students with the opportunitiesof learning engineering-related courses in English,but the credit hours of thosecourses are very limited. The third step is through the bilingual teaching or full-English teaching,which gives students the opportunities of not only learning careerrelated knowledge but also improving the proficiency in professional English.
