How to plan your career after graduation in electrical engineering and automation?
Regardless of the wide range of employment in this major, there are six directions that are relatively corresponding. These are ideal directions, don't think too much! You can go anywhere, as long as you do your job well, you are a talent! Here is an introduction to the ideal work of electricity.

1. State Grid and China Southern Power Grid are the first choices. Those who have the ability and personnel can go to the Electric Power Research Institute under the provincial companies (Southern Network: Power Grid Technology Research Center). The Electric Power Research Institute mainly belongs to the power test institutions of provincial power grid companies, mainly doing theoretical research, as well as cutting-edge technologies of power grids, such as distributed generation and grid-connected research of microgrids. To put it bluntly, the power grid wants to seize new energy, and these departments are treated according to projects. In addition, Wuhan High Voltage Laboratory (now Wuhan Nanrui) is responsible for the operation management, maintenance, overhaul, technical transformation, defect treatment, accident emergency repair and technical management of primary and secondary equipment of 500 kV power transmission and transformation, as well as regular calibration (test) of secondary equipment; Responsible for the maintenance, technical transformation, major defect treatment, emergency repair and capital construction of power grid transmission and transformation equipment; Responsible for the live working of 220 kV and above equipment and the handling of major equipment defects and emergency repairs of DC system in substation; But only if you are very top-notch, you are not particularly top-notch, like going to the power supply bureau after reading the advice of a small undergraduate and focusing on the operation and maintenance of power stations. Life is relatively moist, but you can't get in touch with cutting-edge technology and gradually become a mechanic. However, graduate students can be promoted to monitor and take charge of things, but your life may be busy, leaving less and less time for your family. Personally like it.

2. Take the route of power generation group. You have also heard of the five major power generation groups, as well as China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group and Guangdong Electric Power Group. Going in is a stable plan, not as good as the power grid. That's for sure.

3. Take the design route and enter the electric power design institute. Electric power design institutes generally focus on engineering projects and design large thermal power plants and substations. To put it bluntly, it is drawings, primary on-site wiring and secondary switchgear, as well as those responsible for building electricity, lightning protection and grounding, and indoor power distribution and lighting. China Electric Power Engineering Consulting Group has five regional electric power design institutes in North China, Northeast China, Northwest China, Central South China and Southwest China, as well as provincial electric power design institutes such as Shandong Electric Power Engineering Consulting Institute (now affiliated to China National Nuclear Corporation) and Guangdong Electric Power Design Institute. Some people may be puzzled about the power design institute and the power grid. It can be said that if you want to take the registered electrical examination in the future, you will stay in the design institute, because when the design institute works, all majors get together to discuss and cooperate with each other, and you unconsciously involve professional knowledge such as civil engineering, geotechnical engineering, water supply and drainage, communication, etc., which is of great help to you to take the registered electrical examination; If you want to learn some skills first and then find a small official to do it, then go to the power grid and be a small manager to satisfy yourself.

4. Take the direction of relay insurance. Have you heard of relay insurance company? Entering these units is a test of people's ability and is helpful to the improvement of personal ability. Nanrui Jibao, Xu Zi and Nanzi are all large relay insurance companies in China. Foreign companies such as Siemens, Schneider, abb, Mitsubishi, General Motors and Sifang are also good choices, as well as Shenyang Transformer Factory and Baoding, too many to remember. Maybe you don't have a job, and being a relay worker is very popular in the industry. It takes patience and care, and it takes several years to become an independent relay! Thick accumulation and thin hair!

5. Power engineering troops! There are such units everywhere, and these units are all auxiliary units. The reason for contracting substation construction is that these companies are all low-level units, involving a wide range, and they should be familiar with it once and for all. But at the same time, this kind of work is very hard, and the only advantage is that they have learned a lot. These units often share part of the work with power companies, and we call them all-around superman.

6. This is a new direction. Companies planning smart grids now have such devices everywhere. It's not easy to find a good one, but the prospect is good! Do new energy! For example, wind power and photovoltaic power generation are mostly distributed power generation and microgrid, and most of us do simulation. The future is unpredictable now.

7. Do power electronics, UPS, frequency converters, such as Gree, installation companies, telecom design institutes and so on.

All this seems to be related to strong electricity, and the direction of automation of weak electricity seems not to be mentioned. I can tell you responsibly, if your major is automation, is it a good employment direction? Although this major covers a wide range, it is mainly based on strong electricity, supplemented by weak electricity. Strong electricity includes the production, transmission and use of electric energy, including its operation and maintenance. Courses mainly involve electrical engineering, power system analysis, high voltage engineering, relay protection, power plant and electrical automation. Weak current mainly takes the direction of automation, including single chip microcomputer, electrical control PLC, digital signal processing, automatic control principle, Matlab simulation, communication and other courses.

Generally speaking, as long as you can learn 80% of this major well, you must be a graduate student.
