Is the undergraduate course of energy and power engineering good for employment?

The undergraduate major of energy and power engineering has broad employment prospects. With the increasingly prominent energy problem, the employment demand in related fields continues to grow.

This major covers the knowledge and skills of energy development, utilization and management, and has trained professionals to master various energy technologies and engineering applications, and has the ability to find employment in energy industry, engineering consulting companies, manufacturing industries and other fields.

Moreover, the undergraduate major of energy and power engineering is closely integrated with related majors such as machinery, electricity and environment, which has strong interdisciplinary advantages and broader employment opportunities.

Professional introduction: Energy and power engineering mainly studies the development and utilization of energy, the design and testing technology of power machinery and thermal equipment, etc. Energy sources include traditional energy sources such as coal, oil and natural gas and new energy sources such as nuclear energy, wind energy and bioenergy. Today, China pays more and more attention to the sustainable development of energy, and the specialty of energy and power engineering is paid more and more attention by the society. Graduates can do product development and process design in industrial enterprises.

Energy and power engineering is a major with great social demand. Students can enter the following fields to engage in technology research and development, equipment production, equipment operation and maintenance, etc. ：

1. Power generation direction: mainly entering related power generation enterprises such as thermal power generation and nuclear energy, such as Huaneng Power Plant, China National Nuclear Corporation and China Guangdong Nuclear Power Corporation.

2. New energy direction: Wind power, photovoltaic power generation and other new energy sources are important areas encouraged by the state. Under the background that the country strongly advocates carbon neutrality of peak carbon dioxide emissions, new energy-related enterprises will also usher in more development opportunities. Huaneng International, China Resources Power and other enterprises recruit graduates of related majors every year.
