What is the future employment prospect of mechanical specialty?

The employment prospect of mechanical major is still quite good. The major of machinery and automation is one of the majors with a large talent gap. Talents in mechanical industry emphasize technicality. Enterprises want to recruit compound talents who have both professional knowledge and theoretical knowledge and know how to think. If students want to work in a foreign company, they should not only master professional knowledge, but also master management and sales skills. The analysis of the demand information of the talent market shows that the machinery manufacturing industry is an industry with strong demand for talents at present and in the future. This major trains technical application-oriented talents who adapt to the development of traditional mechanical design and manufacturing technology to high technology, high precision, high quality and high efficiency, and master traditional mechanical design and manufacturing technology, modern advanced mechanical design and manufacturing technology and enterprise management knowledge and skills. Familiar with all kinds of machining equipment, skilled in the application of mechanical CAD and CAM technology, with certain organizational and management capabilities.

The industrial development goal formulated by the state in recent ten years clearly points out that enterprises should widely adopt CAD and CAM technologies within 10 years. Advanced manufacturing technology represented by computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing technology has become the core productivity of enterprises. Based on the classical theory of mechanical design and manufacturing, it integrates many modern technologies such as computer technology, communication technology, photoelectric technology and digital control technology, and forms a brand-new professional direction representing the development trend of manufacturing industry. In order to adapt to this development, it is the general trend for companies and enterprises to widely adopt advanced mechanical design and manufacturing technology.

Mechanical engineering is a real major, from 10,000-ton ships to mobile phones, from high precision to space shuttle, from ordinary to paper clip manufacturing, it is inseparable from such talents. Moreover, the mechanical specialty also has the advantage of universality: those who study engineering machinery can adapt to medical devices, and those who study petroleum machinery can build airplanes. In addition, it is not only the machinery industry that needs mechanical professionals. Any industry, whether it is a production enterprise or a research and development unit, will give mechanical professionals a place to use as long as they use equipment and production lines. For example, pharmaceutical, dairy, food, rubber and other industries need them to install and maintain production equipment.

As long as the whole social economy develops normally, graduates of this major will not lack jobs, and they can grow into engineers and be competent for management positions. Mechanical engineering is a major aimed at training modern mechanical engineers, and it is also one of the majors with the longest running time in Chinese universities. Over the years, its enduring secret lies in the fact that no matter how far a society's civilization develops, it can't be separated from machinery manufacturing, which is the basic guarantee for people's living materials supply.

Mechanical specialty permeates many industries, and the employment direction is diverse: besides teaching and marketing, there are also production directors, logistics management, equipment management, quality management, project management, mechanical and electrical product development, mechanical product development, hydraulic product development, instrument development, weapon development, automobile industry, environmental protection equipment development, mine equipment design, mold design and manufacturing, mechanical manufacturing technologists, numerical control engineers and so on. After graduation, students majoring in this major can engage in mechanical engineering and automation fields such as design and manufacturing, scientific and technological development, applied research, operation management and sales. Because machinery permeates many industries, it is difficult to grasp all the specific directions here.
