Engineering, is the study and practice of much engineering knowledge, so as to maintain and improve the design of various mechanical equipment, instruments, and buildings in society, and create related new inventions.
1. Various branches of engineering
Engineering includes many sub-disciplines, the most common ones are chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and civil engineering. In other engineering fields, engineering also includes manufacturing engineering, software engineering, aeronautical engineering, marine engineering, and so on. Several common branches are also studied by college students in our country.
2. Who is suitable for studying engineering?
In this subject field, the competition is still relatively fierce, because this subject is suitable for a wide range of people. For example, if some people don't want to study any theory and want to get a job as soon as possible, they will choose engineering. Therefore, many students will choose to engineer when they apply for university volunteers, but the acceptance rate of engineering majors will be lower because there are too many people.
3. What to do if you want to learn to engineer well
If you want to study engineering well during college, students should do three things well:
A. The stage of learning to engineer requires the cooperation of multiple people or even multiple teams. Everyone should pay attention to unity and have a big picture when cooperating. They also need to communicate frequently with people around them and have good communication skills.
B. People who study this major will spend a lot of time on research and practice. When filling out the college entrance examination volunteers, they must think about which branch to study and avoid minoring in meaningless courses in college.
C. There are a lot of people studying engineering, so the industry in this field has been very competitive for a long time. Therefore, during the stage of university study, you must pay attention to establishing your own personal connections, and try to enrich your social practice experience. If you do not have With this long-term plan, it will be more difficult to find employment after graduation.
4. Which courses are required for engineering majors
There are many sub-disciplines in engineering, most of which require the study of mathematics, physics, and chemistry. In addition, computer skills are also required, such as programming and calculation. Other courses depend on the needs of specific disciplines. For example, the major of digital media also need to learn the basics of audio, visual basics, creative coding, and concept prototype. Transportation engineering requires learning modeling and optimization, as well as transportation systems, transportation economics, operations research, and so on.
5. Engineering and STEM Education
In recent years, the STEM education promoted by the Hong Kong government refers to "Science", "Technology", "Engineering" and "Mathematics"; STEAM courses have added "Arts".
The "E" stands for Engineer (Engineer). In modern times, all kinds of engineering are not far from life and exist in various forms. Engineering graduates are also very popular because these people have good innovation abilities and technical expertise. After entering a certain company, as long as you concentrate on studying and researching, you can become a project manager in a few years, so the employment prospects of engineers are relatively good.
