I am a junior majoring in automation, and I will be a senior soon ~ As far as I know, the situation is as follows:

1. Electricity is one of the most important colleges, so the competition is definitely fiercer than automation.

2. I think it should be the direction of control theory and control engineering ~ ~

3. The classic control theory textbook we learned is the second edition of Automatic Control Principle published by Chongqing University, and the instrument control textbook is Microcomputer Control Technology published by Machinery Industry Press, edited by Qin Huang, a teacher in our college.

5. We took the Course of Single Chip Microcomputer published by Tsinghua University Publishing House and edited by Qin Huang.
