Abstract: Focusing closely on national major needs and industrial key issues, the integrated circuit major cultivates talents with innovative and entrepreneurial abilities in fields such as chip design (EDA), chip materials and process, and equipment research and development, which is an important strategic foundation for future technological development. The major setting and evolving history of integrated circuit (IC) major in China is systematically studied and talent training and major positioning is analyzed. Taking the IC major of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT) as an example, facing the urgent needs of professional talents in this field, the “Thinking-Specialization-Innovation” talent training mode is proposed based on the research characteristics of BUPT: build ideological education system and professional ability training system with distinguishing features，and establish an innovation and entrepreneurship education ecosystem with “three carriers” under the framework of ideological and political education.

Key words: integrated circuits, talent training, ideological and political education, professional training, innovation and entrepreneurship
