1. Neo-Confucianism refers to the theoretical research of basic disciplines such as mathematics, physics and chemistry;

2, engineering refers to machinery, electronics, computers and other disciplines about practical engineering applications.

Second, the major is different.

1. The content of neo-Confucianism research is extensive. Undergraduate majors usually include: mathematics and applied mathematics, information and computing science, physics, applied physics, chemistry, applied chemistry, biological science, biotechnology, astronomy, geology, geochemistry, geographical science, resources and environment, urban and rural planning and management, etc.

2. Engineering majors include: instrumentation, energy and power, electrical information, transportation, marine engineering, light industry and textile, aerospace, mechanics, bioengineering, agricultural engineering, forestry engineering, public security technology, plant production, geology and mineral resources, materials, machinery, food, weapons, civil engineering, water conservancy, surveying and mapping, environment and safety, chemical industry and pharmacy.

Third, the research is different.

1. Neo-Confucianism is the study of science, and the more specific and detailed the study, the better.

2. Industrial science and technology, the simpler the research, the lower the production cost, the better;

Fourth, pay attention to the differences:

1. Basic scientific research emphasized by Neo-Confucianism.

2. The practical application of the key points of the project;

Five, the cultivation of talents is different:

1, Neo-Confucianism trains scientists.

2. Engineering training engineers.
