Employment direction

The development speed and scale of electric power industry in China attract worldwide attention, and the development of electric power industry needs more and more attention. Accelerate scientific and technological progress? Put it in a key position and leave? Relying on scientific and technological progress to improve the quality of workers? . Scientific research departments and electric power enterprises increasingly need electric power professionals as the core personnel of scientific research and production management. This major is a pipeline that mainly transports professionals to the department of electronics or the department of electric power research or design.

After graduation, you can go to some modern enterprises to engage in the maintenance, management and transformation of automated production equipment, or engage in the operation and management of electrical equipment and electrical transmission systems. You can also go to scientific research units, design units or technology development companies related to petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, electric power, electronics, communications, national defense, machinery and other industries to engage in research and development, design and project implementation. You can also go directly to various power plants, power system power supply departments, power survey and design research units, power management and other departments for employment. Mainly engaged in electrical engineering related system operation, automatic control, power electronics technology, information processing, experimental analysis, research and development, economic management and electronic and computer technology applications.

In addition, some related industries can also use this professional knowledge, such as the complete set of electrical equipment industry, and each position needs professional ability in power engineering and electrical automation; Enterprises with large machine tools or production lines can serve as electrical engineers; Aviation, transportation and other units, automatic signal control; The property management of some buildings needs engineers and technicians who have graduated from this major and are engaged in the development and maintenance of intelligent building systems. You can also choose some foreign-funded or joint-venture companies, and you need this professional technical sales engineer for product sales and maintenance.

Some graduates choose to continue their studies, generally in the main professional direction of power system automation, computer application technology, agricultural electrification and automation, control theory, control engineering and so on. According to statistics, about 15%-25% of undergraduates are admitted to graduate schools for further study every year.

Career prospects

Most graduates majoring in electrical engineering choose to find jobs in power systems and related fields. Power system units mainly include: power generation enterprises, power supply enterprises and electrical equipment manufacturing enterprises. In addition, it also includes electric power design institute, electric power planning institute, electric power construction, electric power research and development and other departments. The existing large state-owned power generation groups in China are: China Huaneng Group, China Datang Group, China Huadian Group, China Guodian Group and China Power Investment Group; Power grid companies include: State Grid Corporation and China Southern Power Grid Corporation; Electrical equipment manufacturers include: Shanghai Power Station, Xinjiang TBEA, etc. Some graduates also choose to work in multinational companies and other foreign companies, such as Siemens, ABB, Schneider, Areva and Vestas.

The rapid development of electric power industry provides a large number of employment opportunities and jobs for graduates of this major. In 2007, the national power industry continued to maintain the momentum of rapid and healthy growth, and the installed power capacity of the country exceeded 700 million kilowatts. In terms of power grid construction, Sichuan and Shanghai? 800 kV DC demonstration project started construction; The Three Gorges power transmission and transformation project was completed in an all-round way and passed the national acceptance. The loop length of 220kV and above transmission lines is 4 15km, and the capacity of 220kV and above substation equipment is 18848kVA.

Taking North China Electric Power University as an example, the supply-demand ratio of electrical engineering graduates has been above 1: 12 in recent three years, and the total employment rate of graduates has reached over 96%. This situation will not change much in the next few years.

But at the same time, we should also see that the development of China electric power industry is maturing. In 2007, the overall situation of power supply and demand in China was basically balanced. China's electricity market reform is also deepening. With the deepening of power system reform, China power market is constantly improving. To be sure, the demand for talents in power enterprises is becoming saturated, and the proportion of demand for compound talents is increasing year by year. The demand for talents began to concentrate on compound, professional and highly educated graduates. For example, in 2007, the campus recruitment conditions of State Grid Corporation and China Southern Power Grid Corporation have been changed to: graduates majoring in electrical engineering from national key universities.

Of course, with the development of the times, the requirements of the power industry for personnel quality are also increasing year by year; However, based on the saturation of power system, the employment quality of graduates is relatively low. As far as power supply enterprises are concerned, in 2003, a large part of undergraduate graduates majoring in electrical engineering worked in provincial or municipal power supply bureaus; But in 2008, most undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering worked in county-level power supply bureau. Therefore, now more and more undergraduates will choose to minor in a double major during their college years or choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination when they graduate.

With the rapid development of modern society, it has long been the general trend to study for graduate students. Undergraduate students majoring in electrical engineering are no exception. It is a wise choice to study for graduate students majoring in electrical engineering selectively. As electric power enterprises, especially higher-level employers, generally select outstanding graduates from some specific institutions, the basic scope of which is Tsinghua University, North China Electric Power University, Xi Jiaotong University, Beijing Jiaotong University, Wuhan University, Chongqing University, Tianjin University, Zhejiang University, Changsha University of Science and Technology, Northeast Li Dian University, etc. Therefore, students are advised to take these institutions as the main reference when applying for graduate students, no matter in terms of teachers, experimental conditions, project level or employment.

The so-called second degree means that while learning electrical engineering well in the university, you can take some other professional courses or take a second degree according to your actual situation. For example, minor in management, marketing, economics and other disciplines. For most students, the study task and pressure of minoring in the second degree are relatively heavy. The integration of different subjects not only enriches their learning tasks, but also broadens their horizons, which is a good choice to improve their comprehensive quality during college. Especially in the current trend of power marketization, it has also become a good way for power enterprises to cultivate compound talents who know both technology and management.

Whether graduates choose direct employment or further study, it plays an equally important role in the development of the whole industry. Rich experience has enabled us to exercise communication skills and cultivate leadership qualities from our work; A perfect knowledge structure enables us to improve our talents at a deeper level.
