First, the choice of study abroad major
1, mechanical engineering
The research field of mechanical engineering is very extensive, involving not only the mechanical meaning itself, such as heat engine, machine tool, working machine (lathe, typewriter, etc. ), automation devices, robots, etc. , including various types of transportation technology, public facilities technology, production technology (equipment technology), nuclear reaction technology, etc. , and products manufactured by precision instrument technology (all kinds of electrical appliances and electronic instruments). In various fields, the automation of manufacturing process and the application of computer are playing an increasingly important role. Mechatronics is a subject with multidisciplinary knowledge, including the basic knowledge of mechanical engineering, electronic engineering and computer science. The diversity in the field of mechanical engineering makes it divided into many professions with completely different directions, such as printing engineering and media technology, vehicle engineering, precision instrument technology, food engineering, aerospace engineering, mechatronics, production technology and materials and raw materials science, material technology, building materials, papermaking technology and so on.
2. Electronic Engineering
Electronic engineering is the technical application of electronics and electromagnetic phenomena's law, which is greatly influenced by computer technology and microelectronics technology. According to the different requirements of practical application, electronic engineering has developed many different majors so far. Among them, the most important are: electronic power technology, information and communication technology (telecommunications technology), (micro) electronics, automation technology and general electronic engineering. The latter has a wide range of learning contents, covering almost all the above courses.
3. Chemical industry
Chemical industry is the fourth pillar industry in Germany. You can see the basic situation of this industry from the table below. The head of the German Chemical Industry Association said that in 20 1 1 year, the R&D expenditure of enterprises will increase to about 1000 billion euros, and the association is full of confidence in winning the championship again this year.
The three leading fields of German chemical industry are basic organic chemicals, primary plastic products and medicine. These three product areas all account for 15-20% of the total chemical production in Germany. Special and fine chemicals, polymer pharmaceutical products, petrochemicals and derivatives, washing products, inorganic basic chemicals and agricultural chemicals are the chemical products sold in Germany in turn.
Second, how to choose the major of studying abroad
1, interests and abilities
Interest is an important factor to attract people to learn. Interest is the key. If you are not interested, it is futile to think about it. No matter how good a professional child is, he will not study hard, let alone achieve something. Interest is the starting point of learning. Only when you have a strong interest in a certain major can you continue to study this major, which is more conducive to easy and efficient learning and easy to succeed. There is also to know yourself, analyze yourself and measure your ability. It is precisely because many students fail to do this and just blindly listen to the opinions of their parents or others.
2. Career direction
Choose German major according to career goals. Choosing a major should take employment as the macro direction, and choose a major with development potential according to your own career development goals and the trend of the job market. One of the misunderstandings of international students in China is that they first choose institutions with higher comprehensive rankings, which is irrational. In Germany, schools with weak comprehensive strength do not mean that there are no good majors, and schools with strong comprehensive strength are not all among the best.
3. Employment prospects
Analysis of learning difficulty and employment width of different majors. After understanding the popular majors in the next few years, we should also carefully analyze and find a major that suits our interests, learning ability and broad employment prospects. In Germany, mechanical manufacturing is the most advantageous major, and the importance of German universities is obviously reflected in the investment in scientific research funds. The new engine developed by Aachen University of Technology was applied to Airbus A380, which broke people's inherent concept of the speed of large passenger aircraft. The new energy utilization system for automobiles developed by darmstadt University enables future automobiles to fly on roads without relying on traditional energy sources, effectively solving the contradiction between man and nature. Technical university of munich's brand-new BMW concept car is a whisper in people's eyes.
Third, the advantages of studying in Germany
1, high gold content in teaching.
German education has always been known for its rigor. In terms of machinery manufacturing, Germany is the top in the world, and the disciplines of economy, law and art also have high-level teaching quality. Whether it is a liberal arts student, a science student or an art student, you can find a suitable school here. High-quality school-running level brings high employment rate, and German university graduates are very recognized in the job market. Coupled with the friendly political and economic exchanges between China and Germany, the state also has many relevant policies to support overseas students, which is extremely beneficial for students who want to return to China for development after graduation.
2. the cost of studying abroad is low.
German universities are mostly public, and the state bears the main expenses of talent training, which provides a good learning environment for many students with ordinary families but strength. Not only do you not have to bear high tuition fees, but the cost of living in Germany is far lower than that in Britain and the United States.
3, the safety factor is high
Our impression of Germans basically stays on stubbornness and adherence to principles, but after entering the German campus, you will find that your German classmates are warm, cheerful and tolerant, which solves a big trouble for students who are worried that they can't quickly integrate into the environment after studying abroad. Moreover, Germany has a good public security, a crime rate far lower than that of other countries in Europe and America, and a safe and stable living environment.
