What is the major of the Department of Electronic Engineering?

Professional mechanical and electronic engineering specialty

Mechanical and electronic engineering is a kind of mechanical engineering and its automation, commonly known as mechatronics. Mechatronics engineering is a comprehensive subject that organically integrates mechanics, electronics, information technology, computer technology and control technology. That is, mechanical manufacturing and electronic engineering technology are organically combined.

Mechanical and electronic engineering sounds strange, in fact, many items in our daily life are using the technology of mechanical and electronic engineering. Such as airbags, anti-skid braking systems, photocopiers and ticket vending machines. This major is committed to integrating sensors, actuators and information processing into a mechanical design, so that these three functions can work together to provide convenience for people.

First, the learning content

As mentioned above, this major is composed of several subjects, so the curriculum is the same, including the courses to be learned in the above-mentioned traditional majors.

The specific courses are

1, favorite mechanical courses are: mechanical drawing, engineering mechanics, mechanical design foundation, mechanical manufacturing foundation, hydraulic and pneumatic technology, mechanical manufacturing technology foundation.

2. Electronic courses include: electrician and electronic technology, electrotechnics.

3. Control technology courses include: CNC principle and maintenance, electrical control and PLC.

4. Computer: C language programming, microcomputer principle, etc.

5. In addition, there are the principle and interface technology of single chip microcomputer, the design of electromechanical integration system, the introduction of advanced manufacturing technology and so on.

Generally speaking, the content of this major is the same as that of mechanical majors in previous years (such as mechanical design and automation), but it will be a little different in the next few years.

Professional subdivision

Mechatronics can be subdivided into:

1, mechatronics system (transmission and simulation technology, mechanical equipment, robot technology and its motion system, sensor and actuator technology, measurement technology and image processing, etc. ).

2. Micro and ultra-micro machinery (micro-system technology, functional groups of micro and precision instruments, measurement technology of micro-system, etc. )

3. Biomechanics (robot technology, biological system, bionic execution technology, control and design, control system, etc. ) and so on.

Different universities have different specific directions and training priorities, but as far as undergraduate courses are concerned, the content of study is basically the same.

Second, the employment situation

As far as employment is concerned, under the current employment situation, engineering majors have more advantages than other majors in finding jobs, and mechanical and electronic engineering is relatively easier to find jobs because of its wide application.

Because almost all walks of life are closely related to machinery, even any factory has mechanical equipment to be maintained. So you don't have to worry about your job when you graduate from this major.

You can go to the enterprise to engage in the testing, product development and technical management of electromechanical system design, electrical control, engineering design and development, control system design, etc.

For example, most students in our class are engaged in middle management (related to machinery, such as quality managers and quality inspectors) in some companies. Of course, there are also front-line operators, designers, Honda and Toyota. Specific to the region, mainly concentrated in the northeast, Shandong, Hubei, Jiangsu and other mechanically developed areas.

But then again, although it is not difficult to find a job, it is not easy to find a better one. Because it is dealing with mechanical equipment, the working environment of the whole machinery industry is basically not very superior, and the starting salary is not very high.

employment rate

In recent three years, the employment rate of mechanical and electronic engineering major in Southeast University is over 98.4%, and the employment rate of graduate students is 100%.

Third, matters needing attention

1, because many knowledge systems in engineering are based on mathematics. Therefore, learning this major requires a certain mathematical foundation.

Don't listen to the country saying that men and women are equal when looking for a job now. Go to a job fair yourself and you will understand. Gender discrimination in this major is very common. This is not to say that I discriminate. I just remind everyone in advance, don't regret it after reporting. Girls who study machinery can only take the postgraduate entrance examination.

3, learn mechanical and electronic major should also be prepared in this regard. At first, the salary was not very high, and it was a civilian salary. Hungry, but not fat There is still a long way to go to do this work for electromechanical majors, and experience is very important. In layman's terms, the older you get, the more popular you get.

For boys, this is a major that can find a job after graduation. It can be said that the treatment of undergraduates and postgraduates is basically not much different.

There are generally two options for this major, which can be developed in the direction of machinery or electronics. Employment in the field of machinery is relatively easy, even very popular, but the salary level is average; However, the employment of partial electronics is slightly more difficult, but the salary level is higher.

6. Students with strong practicality and hands-on ability are more favored by employers.

Fourth, the professor commented:

1, what is the learning object of mechanical and electronic engineering?

We can see that human beings have bodies, limbs, hands and feet. They must eat and drink, and of course they can do all kinds of work, including mental and physical work. At the same time, we also know that these behaviors of human beings are completed by the coordination of body, hands and feet under the command of the brain and through nerve conduction. Machines, especially modern machines, are very similar to humans and are also used to complete a certain kind of work. To make this machine work better and faster, we also need to command it to move in a certain order, with a certain intensity and a certain route trajectory. It also needs the brain and nervous system. Mechanical and electronic engineering majors should not only study the structure of machines, but also study their brains and nerves to make machines work like people.

2. What courses do you take in mechanical and electronic engineering?

Mechanical and electronic engineering is a new professional discipline which integrates mechanical technology, microelectronics technology, information technology and control technology on the basis of system engineering to realize the optimization of the whole system. It is not a simple superposition of machinery and electronics, but an application technology based on information theory, cybernetics and system theory.

The first core course of this major is mechanical principle, mechanical parts and engineering materials. These courses let you know about the structure of working machines, just like biological anatomy lets doctors know about the structure of the human body, including the heart that provides power and the muscles and joints that perform various actions. This major also needs to install brains and nerves on machines. The task of the mind is to judge, analyze and make some decisions according to the specific situation. The so-called specific conditions are whether there are instructions to do the work, what work to do, whether other conditions allow you to act, and so on. Therefore, it is necessary to learn sensor and test technology. Sensors can get this information just like human organs and skin, and then analyze it. Therefore, it is necessary to take courses such as mathematics, mechanics, mechanical principles, electrical and electronic basics, computer control technology, mechanical control process, mechatronics technology, engineering machinery design theory, hydraulic transmission, mechanical CAD/CAM, simulation and so on. These courses can help the brain of the machine make correct analysis and scientific decisions, and make all parts of the machine work together like human hands and feet.

3. What characteristics should mechanical and electronic students have?

Mechatronics engineering is an interdisciplinary subject which combines mechanics, electronics, control, computer and other disciplines. Therefore, students of this major should have all-round qualities, besides good basic knowledge, they should also have overall thinking habits, overall consideration and coordination ability, and be good at thinking and comprehensively applying multidisciplinary knowledge. This feature is the basis of becoming a "chief engineer" or "chief designer" senior technical personnel.

4. What difficulties may be encountered in the study of mechanical and electronic engineering?

The major of mechanical and electronic engineering combines many disciplines such as machinery, electronics, control and computer. At the same time, it is closely combined with engineering technology, easy to involve a wide range, and it is difficult to give consideration to both professional knowledge and engineering technology. This requires students to lay a good theoretical foundation, combine personal interests with course experiments and engineering practice, and realize the organic integration of multidisciplinary professional knowledge and engineering technology through systematic thinking and the combination of theory and practice.

5. Is there any misunderstanding about mechanical and electronic engineering in society?

Mechanical and electronic engineering involves a wide range of fields, and society may have doubts about employment and salary level. Now the development theme of industry is intelligence and automation, which is consistent with the integration of machinery, electronics, fluid control and computer in this major. Therefore, I believe that the demand for graduates of this major will remain strong in the future. The starting salary of this major is generally not as high as that of some majors. However, due to strong professionalism, with the accumulation of work experience, the salary and treatment showed a steady growth trend after three to five years, and the work was stable.

6. What are the industrial problems in social life that mechanical and electronic students need to solve?

It can be said that "flying in the sky, running on the ground and swimming in the water" all have the shadow of electromechanical integration technology, and they can't do without the core technology provided by graduates majoring in electromechanical science. For example: aircraft landing gear technology, automobile hydraulic power steering system, deep-sea manned submersible adjustable load system and so on.

7. What are the main fields of employment for graduates majoring in mechanical and electronic engineering?

In modern life, all the machines we can touch, whether small life machines or large industrial machines, are mechatronics machines! Therefore, modern industry needs more compound talents with electromechanical background. Over the years, this major has continuously delivered thousands of outstanding talents to well-known large-scale equipment manufacturing enterprises and engineering construction enterprises at home and abroad, and has become the leaders or technical elites of these enterprises, and won considerable popularity for this major, such as Xugong Group, Zoomlion, Sany Heavy Industry, Liugong, Xiamen University, Rexroth Hydraulic, Bosch Electromechanical, China Communications Group, China Railway Group and CLP Group.
