What is science and engineering, literature and history?
Science and engineering (major) refers to the study of two major disciplines of science and engineering. Science and engineering is a vast field, including physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, astronomy, mathematics and various applications and combinations of the first six categories. In fact, science and engineering are the combination of nature, science and technology.

Literature and history category: it is one of the categories of courses roughly divided according to the different characteristics of students' main courses in high school. At present, the curriculum division of senior high schools in China mainly adopts literature and history. The courses of literature and history generally include: Chinese, mathematics, English, geography, history and politics. Generally speaking, the majors in colleges and universities that literature and history candidates can apply for are usually called literature and history majors (but it does not mean that all these majors can only be applied for by literature and history candidates).

Extended data:

First, the division of literature and history courses:

At present, the curriculum division of senior high schools in China mainly adopts literature and history. Literature and history is one of the classifications that roughly divide the courses according to the different characteristics of students' main courses in high school. (Note: Senior high school courses are generally divided into science and engineering, literature and history, fine arts, music and physical education). The courses of literature and history generally include: Chinese, mathematics, English, geography, history and politics. Therefore, college entrance examination candidates who study literature and history courses are called literature and history candidates.

Second, the division of science and engineering courses:

1, Neo-Confucianism:

It is an important subject in China university education, which refers to the study of the basic laws of natural material movement. After graduating from university science, you will generally become a bachelor of science. Together with literature, engineering, pedagogy and history, it constitutes the discipline system of higher education in China.

2. Engineering:

Engineering (discipline code: 08) refers to the general name of engineering disciplines. Including: instrumentation, energy and power, electrical information, transportation, marine engineering, textiles, aerospace, mechanics, bioengineering, agricultural engineering, forestry engineering, public security technology, plant production, geology and minerals, materials, machinery, food, weapons, civil engineering, water conservancy mapping, environment and safety, chemical industry and pharmacy.

3, the difference between science and engineering:

The study of science by Neo-Confucianism requires that the more specific and detailed the study, the better the understanding; Neo-Confucianism attaches importance to basic scientific research. Generally speaking, science trains scientists.

Industrial science and technology, the simpler the research, the lower the production cost, the better; Engineering attaches importance to practical application. Generally speaking, engineering trains engineers.
