What are the employment prospects in thermal and power engineering?

If you are talking about a graduate student, let me give you a rough analysis. I hope it will be helpful to you.

1. Engineering Thermophysics It is generally better to go to a graduate school after graduation, but there are relatively few recruiting units and suitable positions, and the salary is average.

2. Thermal energy engineering engineering companies, design institutes, research departments of equipment factories, and research institutes can all go there. The employment opportunities are wide and the remuneration is good.

3. There are many power machinery and engineering steam turbine factories, power station equipment main engine factories, and auxiliary equipment factories, with average salary and wide employment opportunities

4. Refrigeration and low-temperature engineering air-conditioning factories, for example Heater factory or environmental design institute, the salary is average, and the employment prospects are average

5. Heating, gas supply, ventilation and air-conditioning engineering design institute (heating and ventilation major), HVAC equipment factory, the salary is average, the employment prospects are average

6. If you want to study the principles of internal combustion engines in power engineering, go to an automobile factory. If you want to study thermal engineering, go to a gas engine or gas turbine factory. This depends on your luck. If you go to a large company like GE or Siemens to engage in gas turbine or gas turbine power generation and lead, or if you go to a large company like Caterpillar to engage in engine work, the salary will be pretty good!

I personally recommend thermal engineering or power engineering, and see if there is any research related to nuclear power or solar power generation. Photothermal power generation will have a head start in the future, but photovoltaics are no longer viable.

The above is the employment direction after graduate school. If you are an undergraduate, look at the following:

For low-temperature refrigeration, you mainly go to the design department of an air-conditioning company. The better ones are Carrier and York. , Trane, McQuay, Toshiba. The worse ones are those made in China, such as those made by Glyme. If you go to a foreign company, you usually have several years of work experience. Now it is normal to have an annual salary of 15W for three years. Those in China are relatively miserable. After working for three years, a monthly salary of 6-7K is enough.

To learn thermal engineering, you usually go to a power plant, a power plant main engine factory, an auxiliary engine factory or a design institute. It seems difficult to get into a design institute with an undergraduate degree now, so I recommend you go to the design department of an auxiliary engine factory or a main engine factory. Among the three major electrical groups, Dongqi is the best for employees, followed by Shangqi and Harbin Gas. The ones with the best reputation for quality are Haqi, Qiqi, and Shangqi. When you go to a power plant, it's usually hard to do either operation or maintenance, but the benefits and benefits are good. I don't know if you like the monotonous life.

Hope this helps!
