In recent years, mechanical engineering has been one of the majors with a large number of applicants for studying abroad in Japan because of its good development prospects. Due to the large number of applicants, mechanical engineering has become one of the most difficult majors in Japan. Many students with good conditions missed out on colleges and universities, which became a great regret in life. As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know yourself, and you will win every battle." Why is it so difficult to apply for mechanical engineering? Are top universities really out of reach?

0 1 level 1: solid basic skills.

The so-called basic skills, that is, people often talk about language, system and achievements. The solidity of basic skills (institutions, GPA, Japanese scores, English scores) is basically proportional to the level of institutions, but it is not absolute. The following contents can help you foster strengths and avoid weaknesses.

The second level: rich practical experience

When communicating with Japanese professors, Bian Xiao found that professors don't just look at students' language and GPA. We will also pay attention to students' internship experience. For example: whether you have done an internship in a related major; Whether you have won a scholarship; Whether you have participated in relevant competitions and won prizes. Because practical experience may not be directly related to the major, it is ignored by most students.

But these experiences can reflect a student's social participation, communication and expression, teamwork and other abilities, which are also necessary for studying and living smoothly in a foreign country. After all, professors are also worried about whether their students can finish their studies actively and smoothly.

The third level: those who get "scientific research" get the world.

This level can be called a "deciding game", and the winner wins the world. In today's increasingly fierce competition for mechanical engineering applications, Bian Xiao can see that many students are obviously good-looking, but they are not favored by professors.

After in-depth comparative analysis, I finally found the mystery-the scientific research background is not rich enough. Japanese professors attach great importance to students' scientific research ability, which is inseparable from Japanese educational philosophy.

A very representative educational model is that Japanese universities hold "ゼミ" on a regular basis, which is similar to "academic seminars" and aims to cultivate students' ability to "find and solve practical problems on the basis of solid professional knowledge". Therefore, good academic performance alone cannot meet the demand of professors for students' scientific research ability.

What truly reflects your scientific research ability is your experience in doing scientific research projects, writing papers, doing experiments and even publishing academic achievements in well-known journals during your college years. Through the analysis of admission, Bian Xiao found that students with rich scientific research background are often more competitive and more likely to be favored by professors. /zd/lx
