Second, the comprehensive introduction of the major For a high school student, the major of "automation" may be a little confusing, but if you ask the college students or graduates about the major of automation, I think they will invariably give you their thumbs up and recommend this major. Why? Generally speaking, there are several reasons: First, it belongs to the information industry. The information industry is known as the "sunrise industry", which is the trend of science and technology development today because of its rapid development, high demand for talents and high treatment. Therefore, as an important member of the information industry, automation specialty also has a bright future. Second, automation has a wide range of applications. At present, almost all industrial sectors can be linked to automatic control, and modern agriculture and national defense are also closely related to automation. Third, this major is very beneficial to personal development. The curriculum of this major covers a wide range, and the things learned overlap with other disciplines. This is also related to the origin of this major, most of which originated from the automatic control major of computer or electronic engineering department. Then let's take a look at what knowledge and ability such a "panacea" major needs. Automatic control theory, operational research, signal and system analysis, computer software technology application, algorithm language and program design, analog electronic technology foundation, circuit principle, etc., even fluid mechanics should be repaired. It can be said that automation major needs all aspects of engineering knowledge, and its courses overlap with electronic engineering, computer, electrical engineering and even chemical engineering. It is no wonder that automation talents can work in various fields. The above learning characteristics require students to have a strong background in science and engineering and not to be partial to subjects. Of course, the different emphases of automation major in colleges and universities also make the later professional courses quite different. Taking more courses than others in the same few years means being more tired than others, so I hope those students who have naive illusions about college life or want to have a good rest in undergraduate years and look forward to romantic affairs will not apply for this major. The heavy academic pressure and the requirement of all-round development will be a pain for you. However, for those students who are interested in learning real skills and hard work, this major is really a very good choice. Of course, such a popular major brings fierce and even cruel competition. Like electronic and computer majors, it is not difficult to apply automatically. The advantages of automation specialty are more prominent in employment. First of all, all industries can be linked to automation, and it is very easy to change careers. "Hard" can be transferred to electronic engineering, "soft" can be transferred to computers, and it can also be transferred to communications. Of course, the treatment is also very good. If you take the postgraduate entrance examination, there are some related institutes of China Academy of Sciences to choose from. Similar to several other majors of "electricity", automation is not particularly easy to go abroad, and there is basically no corresponding major in foreign universities. Generally speaking, it is necessary to apply for doublee (Electronic Engineering) or cs (Computer Science), which also makes automation graduates more unfavorable when choosing to study abroad. But overall, the automation major is quite satisfactory in terms of its future. Faced with such a vast space for development, are you tempted? Automation professional code: 862. Third, the development of professional education Automation professional education is accompanied by the wide application of automation technology in social production and life. It mainly studies the principles and methods of automatic control, automation unit technology and integration technology and their applications in various control systems. In this field, the United States is at the leading level in the world. Due to the wide application of automation technology, the demand for talents in this major has also increased greatly. In order to adapt to this situation, American universities have introduced this major education into the classroom in time. Because of the applicability of this professional skill, it quickly aroused the strong interest of young students, which laid a solid talent base for the rapid development of the United States in this field and far ahead of other countries in the future. China's research in this technical field is also relatively early, but it is relatively late to enter the university classroom as a professional education compared with foreign countries. This is also an important reason for the shortage of reserve talents in this field in China and the gap with other countries. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the people's regime was faced with a situation in which everything was in ruins, and the socialist economic construction needed advanced production technology. Therefore, with the support of the Party and the state, a number of schools, such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, Shanghai Jiaotong University and Beijing Institute of Technology, have set up relevant professional education and professional technology research institutes. After the reform and opening up, facing the wave of the fourth new scientific and technological revolution, automation professional education has made great progress. In addition to colleges and universities that have already set up related majors, a large number of colleges and universities, such as Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Southeast University and Nanjing University, have added this major. According to statistics, at present, more than 9% of colleges and universities in China offer automation education, which is favored by more and more people because of its wide applicability and the wide demand of society for this professional talent. Ordinary colleges and universities recruit talents with an enrollment of 2-3 people every year, and some colleges and universities even have more. The educational level varies from junior college and undergraduate to master's and doctor's degree, forming an educational model of cascade talent training. In recent years, many famous professors and experts have emerged in this field, and the teaching staff has been greatly enhanced. For example, Professor Wu Cheng from the Department of Automation of Tsinghua University has made great achievements in system integration technology, and Professor Chen Yuliu, Professor Xiong Guang Leng, Professor Yang Jiaben, Professor Yang Shiyuan and Professor Xiao Deyun have made great achievements in their respective research fields. Professor Wu Qidi from Tongji University has been engaged in the theory and application of modern control, automation system engineering, computer integrated manufacturing system and intelligent automation system for a long time. The Department of Automatic Control and the Institute of Automation of Southeast University have high-level academic leaders headed by Professor Qian Zhonghan and Professor Feng Chunbai, two academicians of Chinese Academy of Sciences. These outstanding scholars and experts have made outstanding contributions to the development of high technology in China in the new period. Looking forward to the new century, with the rise of the information revolution and the impact of the new economy, automation professional education will inevitably receive more attention from all countries in the world. Because this technology has gradually developed from office automation and industrial automation to home automation, it is inextricably linked with the daily life of ordinary people, and further development is inevitable. After China entered the 199s, with the enlivening of the socialist market economy and the deepening of the policy of opening to the outside world, the social demand for automation professionals has been expanding day by day, and the demand has been in short supply for several years (in recent years, the supply-demand ratio of graduates of this major has been stronger than 1: 1). With some large foreign enterprises entering the domestic market, some well-known domestic enterprises will also go to the world, so the competition for high-tech talents will become increasingly fierce, and the demand for professionals will also be greatly expanded. Therefore, in the next few decades, automation education will have a fully developed space. Iv. analysis of professional employment data v. professional employment situation and trend automation majors mainly study the principles and methods of automatic control, automation unit technology and integration technology and their applications in various control systems. Based on the theory of automatic control, it takes electronic technology, power electronics technology, sensor technology, computer technology, network and communication technology as the main tools, and faces the automatic control of industrial production process and the automation of various industries and departments. It has the distinctive characteristics of "combining control (control) with management (science), paying equal attention to strength (electricity) and weakness (electricity), and applying both software (parts) and hardware (parts)", and is a wide-caliber engineering specialty with science, engineering, literature and management interdisciplinary. At school, students generally study nearly 4 courses, such as semiconductor converter technology, automatic control system, electric drive and electric control, optimal control, microcomputer control technology, computer communication and network, digital signal processing, software engineering, sensor principle, automatic detection technology, introduction to system engineering, operational research and information retrieval. This major is an engineering and technical discipline with strong adaptability and wide application. It aims to train students to become advanced engineering and technical talents with solid foundation, in-depth knowledge system of automatic control technology and strong computer application ability. Therefore, after graduation, students can engage in technical work in automatic control, automation, signal and data processing and computer application. Employment fields are also very broad, such as high-tech companies, research institutes, design units, universities, financial systems, communication systems, taxation, foreign trade, industry and commerce, railways, civil aviation, customs, industrial and mining enterprises, and government and science and technology departments. Over the years, the ratio of supply and demand of graduates of this major has been kept at about 1∶1, and the employment destination in recent years is mainly in the fields of system integration, computer software and hardware development and communication. In the second half of the 2th century, the fourth wave of scientific and technological revolution, characterized by information technology, impacted the whole world and greatly promoted the economic development of various countries. Whether we can seize this rare development opportunity determines whether all countries in the world can occupy a favorable position in the future international competition. Under the favorable situation of reform and opening up, China has taken a positive response to meet this challenge. The party and state leaders attach great importance to the great role of automation technology in the national economy, formulate corresponding measures, increase investment in automation professional education, set up laboratories in colleges and universities one after another, and improve the teaching environment to cultivate more outstanding professionals. In recent years, a large number of outstanding experts and scholars have emerged in the field of automation. Professor Wu Qidi, currently the president, professor, doctoral supervisor of Tongji University, director of China Automation Society and senior member of ieee, has been engaged in the theory and application research of modern control theory, automation system engineering, computer integrated manufacturing system and intelligent automation system for a long time. He has published 1 monograph, 4 translations and more than 1 academic papers. He has presided over the completion of more than 2 scientific research projects, and won the second prize of major technical improvement of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, the first prize of scientific and technological achievements of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, and the third prize of scientific and technological progress in Shanghai. The Department of Automatic Control and the Institute of Automation of Nanjing Southeast University not only have high-level academic leaders headed by Professor Qian Zhonghan and Professor Feng Chunbo, two academicians of Chinese Academy of Sciences, but also have a group of young and middle-aged technical backbones with solid theoretical foundation, rich practical experience and advanced computer technology. Graduates of this major have broad employment channels, because automation technology is widely used, and their employment fields are also varied. Because of this, some students tend to have the psychology of "the emperor's daughter doesn't worry about getting married" when choosing a job, thinking that their automation major is in short supply and the social demand is large, so the work unit can choose with themselves. Although the current student employment policy is a "two-way" choice, you choose the employer, but the employer is also choosing you. Therefore, don't show an air of "Laozi is the best in the world", and feel great about yourself, which will only cause the employer's resentment and even eventually refuse to hire you. Modesty, steadiness and steadiness are the first choice for graduates of this major when choosing a job. According to the employment situation of graduates in recent years, their jobs are very ideal and their income is quite optimistic. In recent years, with the help of enlivening the market economy and deepening the opening up, the industries related to the employment field of this major have also developed rapidly. Civil aviation, railway, finance, communication system, taxation, customs and other departments are becoming more and more automated, and scientific research institutes and high-tech companies are also developing rapidly with the help of strong talent advantages. In the future, with the expansion of the application field of automation technology, the demand for this professional talent will continue to increase, and the graduates of automation specialty will also find the ideal position to play their expertise in all fields of social life and all links of economic development with the help of the wide application of this technology. Automation major has always been an urgent need for talents in society. Including electrical automation, railway, chemical industry and many other fields.
