Electrical engineering and automation specialty is a new discipline in the field of electrical information, and its tentacles extend to all walks of life, from the design of a switch to the research of aerospace aircraft. Because it is closely related to people's daily life and industrial production, it has developed very rapidly and is now relatively mature. [ 1]
Control theory and power network theory are the basis of electrical engineering and automation specialty, power electronics technology and computer technology are its main technical means, and also include research fields such as system analysis, system design, system development, system management and decision-making. There are also some characteristics of this major, that is, the combination of strong and weak electricity, electrical and electronic technology, software and hardware, with the nature of interdisciplinary, power, electronics, control, computer multidisciplinary synthesis.
This major came into being in the 1970s. At first, in Oxford University, the DC control mode was realized for the first time. At that time, the driving voltage of the actuator was DC and the control voltage was DC. The working mode of automation system is very simple and rough, and its accuracy is also very low. However, the control mode of DC is widely known because of its long history, and people will naturally think of using DC to control AC actuators. With the emergence and maturity of high-power electronic devices such as transistors, high-power transistors and field effect transistors, and the establishment of weak and strong current control systems based on modern mathematics and matrix algebra, electronic technology and automation have reached a new historical height. Although China has not been in the forefront of the world in this respect, with the improvement of China's comprehensive national strength and the increase of foreign exchanges, we have gradually narrowed the gap with developed countries. Representative ones are: 300 billion computer development successes per second; Master nanotechnology; Application of simulation technology.
Main courses: motor and transmission, factory electrical control technology, power electronics technology, power electronics technology electronic technology practice, single chip microcomputer technology, PLC technology, electronic engineering drawing, factory power supply and distribution technology, electronic technology comprehensive training, electrical equipment, English intensive reading, and professional English.
Development prospect: "Automation" belongs to the information industry. Information industry, known as "sunrise industry", has become the trend of science and technology development because of its rapid development, high demand for talents and high treatment. Therefore, as an important member of the information industry, automation specialty is also promising. Second, automation has a wide range of applications. At present, almost all industrial sectors can be linked with automation, and modern agriculture and national defense are also closely related to automation. Third, this major is very beneficial to personal development. The courses of this major cover a wide range, and what you learn overlaps with other disciplines. This is also related to the origin of this major, most of which originated from the automatic control major of computer or electronic engineering department.
With the continuous development of China's economy and modern industry, the talent market of electrical automation technology has great potential. Especially in Guangdong, the continuous improvement of automation production technology, the continuous popularization of automation products, the application of intelligent buildings and smart homes, and the continuous development of intelligent transportation provide broad development prospects for electrical automation technology specialty.
Power electronics technology and microcomputer control technology are important parts of high-tech industry. Intelligent control appliances and electrical control equipment, automatic control systems and production lines are widely used in industry, agriculture, national defense and other fields, and play an important role in the national economy. Usually graduates can choose state-owned quality and technical supervision departments, scientific research institutes, industrial and mining enterprises, etc. It can also be some foreign-funded and private enterprises, and the treatment is of course considerable. If students are strong enough and have accumulated good research results during their studies, they can start their own businesses and create their own sky. It should be pointed out that, because the research essentials of this major are ahead of us abroad, it is a good choice to go abroad for further study if you want to have further development and establish your leading position in this direction in China.
