What is the future development of electrical engineering and automation specialty?

Because of the wide research scope and optimistic application prospect, the employment situation of graduates in electrical engineering is mostly good. From the design of a switch to the research of the space shuttle, there will be graduates majoring in electrical engineering. After two to three years of postgraduate study, the professional quality of graduates can be further improved and there are more opportunities for choice.

The major of electrical engineering cultivates a wide-caliber and compound senior engineering and technical personnel, so the graduates of this major show the characteristics of "more points, wider scope and strong adaptability" in employment. Generally speaking, graduate students majoring in electrical engineering can play an important role in the fields related to electrical engineering, such as system operation, automatic control, power electronics technology, information processing, experimental technology, research and development of electronic and computer technology, economic management and application, and can also engage in power design, construction, commissioning, production, operation, management, market operation, scientific and technological development and technical training in power plants, power supply bureaus, power grid dispatching stations and various large and medium-sized enterprises. In addition, graduates of this major can also engage in electrical technology work in other industries.

It should be noted that many units will consider the specific professional direction of graduates when recruiting graduates majoring in electrical engineering. Generally speaking, graduates majoring in power electronics are suitable for private or state-owned high-tech enterprises (such as Hisense, Foxconn, Emerson, ABB, Microsoft), military enterprises, aerospace enterprises or provincial and municipal power companies, power design institutes, etc. Graduates majoring in strong electricity such as electrical machinery, high voltage, power system and electrician theory or related power majors are suitable for scientific research institutes, power plants or power grid companies.

The salary of newly graduated graduate students is generally not high, and the salary and benefits vary according to specific majors and work places. The electrical industry attaches great importance to work experience, so graduates will have a hard time at first, but with the growth of work experience, the treatment will gradually improve. Generally speaking, the salary of graduates majoring in power electronics is basically around 4000 yuan/month, and some may be 5000 yuan/month; The average salary of electrical graduates is 3000 ~ 4000 yuan/month; Graduates of high-voltage and power systems may earn as much as 10,000 yuan a month if they can enter CGNPC. If you enter the power grid company, you can earn this amount in a few years. It should be noted that general power system units only recruit graduates from counterpart power colleges or "2 1 1 engineering" colleges; There is no completely corresponding recruitment unit for the major of electrical engineering theory and new technology, but if the research topic of graduates is related to power system, they can also enter the power grid company.
