What is the major of mechanical engineering? What is the major of mechanical engineering?
Mechanical engineering majors study engineering mechanics, fluid mechanics, engineering materials, material mechanics, combustion, heat transfer, thermodynamics, tribology, mechanism, mechanical principles, mechanical parts, metal processes, and non-metal processes. Research, design and develop new mechanical products, improve existing mechanical products and produce a new generation of mechanical products to meet current and future needs. The production of mechanical products, such as the planning and realization of production facilities, the formulation of production plans and production schedules, the formulation and implementation of manufacturing processes, the design and manufacture of process equipment, the determination of labor quota and material quota, processing, assembly, packaging and inspection.
Employment direction of mechanical engineering specialty
After China's economy is integrated into the world economy, one of the fastest growing industries is processing and manufacturing. The processing and manufacturing industry needs a large number of technical talents specializing in mechanical manufacturing and automation.
For example, in the traditional industrial field, professionals are needed to engage in scientific and technological development, design and manufacturing in the field of machinery manufacturing, among which the employment prospects of construction machinery, CNC machine tools and printing machinery are very optimistic.
In recent years, China's automobile manufacturing industry, urban rail transit construction and high-speed railway construction also need talents majoring in machinery manufacturing and automation.
Visible, in the future for a long time, the country's demand for mechanical talents will continue to grow steadily, and the employment of mechanical majors will still be in a state of relative competition.
It is worth mentioning that the technical content of this major is relatively high, so the substitution is very weak, and the employment counterpart rate of students majoring in this major is very high.
What is the major of mechanical engineering and automation?
A, mechanical engineering and automation professional courses:
Engineering mechanics, mechanical design foundation, electrician and electronic technology, microcomputer principle and application, mechanical engineering materials, manufacturing technology foundation.
Main practical teaching links: including military training, metalworking, electrician, electronic practice, cognitive practice, production practice, social practice, curriculum design, graduation design (thesis) and so on. , generally should be arranged for more than 40 weeks.
Second, mechanical engineering and automation professional knowledge and skills:

Extended reading: mechanical engineering English 1 learning experience. Master professional knowledge.
We must combine mechanical expertise with English knowledge. Without professional knowledge, the translation of professional documents will have no foundation and become a tree without roots. Maybe in the process of learning, I will be unstable or don't understand what I translated, let alone guarantee that it is right or wrong. Therefore, students must strengthen the study of relevant professional knowledge before offering this course, so as to clear the obstacles and reduce the burden for the study of this course. Some students also reported that after the end of professional English, English and majors have been consolidated and strengthened, so what students should do is still to build up confidence and maintain a good and positive attitude.
2. Accumulate professional vocabulary and terminology.
In the process of learning specialized English, students should not only consolidate basic vocabulary, but also learn specialized vocabulary, and pay more attention to the habitual usage and significance of basic vocabulary and its special usage and significance in specialized English. At the same time, students need to master a certain amount of roots and affixes while memorizing professional vocabulary [7]. To improve the reading ability of specialized English materials, we must enlarge our vocabulary and master a certain number of specialized vocabulary. If you don't master enough vocabulary, you will feel that there are many new words and obstacles when reading, which will not only affect the reading speed, but also affect the understanding level, making you unable to read effectively and prone to frustration. If students want to expand their vocabulary, they must remember while reading and expand their reading range.
3. Strengthen reading and master translation skills.
To accurately understand the meaning of the original text, it is necessary to make a correct grammatical analysis of each sentence, which is the most basic translation method.
(1) general principles of translation. The translation should be faithful to the original text and accurately and completely express the content of the original text (including the idea, spirit and style of the original text). Translation shall not distort or delete the original idea at will, nor shall it be omitted or tampered with. The translated language must conform to the norms and habits of the translated country's language; It is necessary to express the ideological content of the original text in national, scientific and popular language in order to be fluent and easy to understand. When translating scientific and technological documents, the translation should strive for correct logic, accurate terminology, concise language and accurate data.
(2) Although the passive voice often appears in scientific English articles, in order to conform to Chinese language habits and be easy to understand, passive sentences are often translated into Chinese active sentences instead of passive sentences.
(3) There are many long sentences in professional literature. To achieve accurate translation of long sentences, we must first understand the syntactic structure of the original text and find out the central content of the whole sentence, that is, find out the skeleton of the sentence and grasp the most important main components, then distinguish the meanings of each layer, analyze the logical relationship between them, and then express them in Chinese. When expressing Chinese, we should also take into account some standardized professional vocabulary in mechanical engineering and Chinese customary expressions, but we should not stick to the form of the original text and translate it in an all-round way, so as to make the content of the translation clear at a glance and avoid the confusion of meaning or unsatisfactory wording that may be caused by literal translation [7][8].
There are generally three translation methods for long sentences: sequential translation, reverse translation and split translation.
There are many other translation skills that need to be accumulated in the process of learning. Students need to master the language features and translation skills of EST on the basis of consolidating basic English grammar.
(4) Contact with production practice. The first national conference on teaching work in colleges and universities put forward that "we should attach importance to comprehensive practical teaching and link teaching with scientific research and production practice more closely". We should actively explore and promote the combination of teaching, scientific research and productive labor under the new situation. The study and translation of specialized English must also be closely linked with production practice. Production practice and practical training are the key for students to master professional skills. Therefore, students must firmly grasp these learning opportunities, improve their professional cognitive ability and practical ability, go deep into the production line when they have the opportunity, integrate theory with practice, and strengthen their professional knowledge. Only in this way can the learning of specialized English take fewer detours and the translated content be more suitable for the production site and reality.
Cultivate a strong interest
It is very important to cultivate interest in English. "Interest is the best teacher", and interest is a great motivation to learn English. With interest, learning will get twice the result with half the effort. We all have this experience: if you like something, it is easy to stick to it; Things you don't like are hard to stick to. Interest is not innate and needs to be cultivated. We must treat English learning with a correct attitude and guide it with scientific methods. Let yourself try more and experience the joy of success through hard work.
In practical learning, the process of learning is the process of consolidating, reviewing and deepening professional knowledge, which is a pleasant experience. The translation of professional documents is a process of gradual accumulation, and it will be easy to change from quantitative to qualitative.
It should be noted that mechanical engineering English is a kind of English, so students majoring in mechanical engineering should continue to strengthen their basic English learning while learning professional English. The training of listening, speaking, reading, writing and practicing of basic English cannot be relaxed or ignored, and the learning of basic English and specialized English complement and promote each other.
5. Conclusion
Professional communication in English is the ultimate goal of learning mechanical engineering English. As the translation process is a creative process, from unfamiliarity to proficiency, only with hard work spirit, serious learning attitude and a certain level of English, professional and Chinese expression can we fully understand the meaning of the original professional documents, grasp the essential content of the original, and use various expression means and translation skills to vividly reproduce the original in an accurate, fluent and Chinese language habit [8]. Therefore, if college students want to cultivate themselves into compound and high-skilled talents with development potential, they must master the professional knowledge of mechanical engineering, cultivate their interest in learning professional English, accumulate the learning methods and basic knowledge of professional English, strengthen the reading of original English professional documents, expand their knowledge, and improve their application ability of professional English quickly and practically, so as to lay a good foundation for better adapting to high-quality jobs and further development in the future.
