Because Huadian has few majors. All kinds of rankings are based on the number of majors. For example, there are more majors, more scientific research achievements, more published papers, more academicians and scholars, and so on. These add up to a strong school. Compared with Beiyou, it can be seen that the ranking is not high either. Simply put, a school has 100 majors, with an average of 65 points for each major and a total score of 6,500 points. Another school has 50 majors, with an average score of 90 for each major and a total score of 4500. The former is much higher than the latter, so it ranks high, but what is the actual level? Just like India, Switzerland and Sweden, the rankings are definitely high. And for social development, major is not the same. For example, in terms of importance, the major majors in the army are tank soldiers, artillery and infantry. Regardless of these differences, all kinds of rankings are calculated according to the same score. In fact, how can a tank regiment be equated with an infantry regiment? Huadian's major is mainly aimed at the power industry. The electric power industry is a very important industry in the national economy, far exceeding clothing, textile, light industry, railway, agriculture, forestry, metallurgy, steel, transportation and other industries. The technical content is also very high. Please look at how many power/electric companies are in the world's top 500 and how many companies are in these industries. The United States and other big countries have clearly regarded the power industry as a national strategic industry.

The ranking is biased. Five Rats Company is a big company, so its ranking method can rank a big company very high. Even more misleading. China Alumni Association ranked Huadian in 1 16, while South China University ranked 20th, and was also marked as a "prestigious school". The key figure in this ranking is a "professor" in this school. This school, which was formed by the merger of Nanzhong Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and Nanzhong Railway Institute, got 985 in many majors, which made China University of Mining and Technology and Beijiao, the two best schools in the corresponding industries, 2 1 1, a shame. The specialty of South China University is poor, the status of specialty in the industry is poor, and the place is poor. It also merged Yaxiang Medical College, with so many majors. This medical school used to be good. But how does it compare with medical schools in first-and second-tier cities now? And Northwest A&F University, 985. On the contrary, Beilin is 2 1 1. So even the Ministry of Education is fooling, not to mention these rankings. According to the methods of these ranking institutions, Caltech ranks 500th.

What about foreign rankings? Not reliable. 20 17 The latest US News and World Report ranked Huaqing University as the first in science and engineering. Where are MIT, Caltech, Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA, University of Tokyo and so on? In this ranking, Huadian ranks 1 14 in global engineering and 20th in China. Just look around and don't take it seriously. However, Huadian has so few majors that it is still ok.

Foreign media revealed that the ranking of Northeastern University in the United States has soared in the past decade 100. Its principal "managed the school well", and his income soared, and finally "retired with honor". In fact, the principal found someone to study the ranking rules in detail and found the "trick". Strive for top-ranked projects and cross out places that do not involve ranking. As a result, the scientific research level, academic level and teaching level have not really improved, but the ranking has indeed soared. As a result, the employer who was fooled by the ranking recruited students from this school and shouted.

Huadian was established quite late 2 1 1, 985, 1958. Not to mention the old schools, even other major industrial schools were established in 1952. The 1950s was the first golden age of higher education in China. And there were only three majors at the beginning, far less than other industry colleges. And experienced relocation and so on. Huadian was also very conservative in the first few decades, with few students and majors. This leads to a great loss when judging 2 1 1 985. Missed the second period of the great development of higher education in China, the 1990s. Huadian realized this problem after 2000. Only by gradually expanding the number of majors and enrollment. For example, electricity, Huadian used to have only one major in power system and automation. Because the two semi-main majors of power system are electric power, thermal power and thermal power. That is, after 2000, there will be other majors in electrical disciplines such as high voltage, power electronics, motors and electrical appliances. Therefore, according to the discipline ranking of the Ministry of Education, Huadian's electrical discipline ranks sixth.

But as I mentioned earlier, the importance of each major in electrical discipline is different, that is to say, it is not equivalent and the weight is different. The subject evaluation of the Ministry of Education did not consider this issue. In the power system, the most important and largest major is the power system and its automation major, and other electrical majors are all soy sauce in the power system. This is also the reason why Huadian has only had the Ministry of Electric Power for decades, but not the Ministry of Electric Power. In the past, there seemed to be two majors in the Department of Electric Power, which were divided by the school itself. In the eyes of the Ministry of Education, this is a major. One department and one major, it's really wonderful. Academically speaking, the specialty of power system and its automation is also the most difficult and the highest among all the majors of electrical discipline. So it's called electric power university, not electric power university. But there are also disadvantages. An army has only tanks, no artillery and no infantry. The combat effectiveness of this infantry will be greatly reduced. Not only that, but also land aviation, air defense, chemical defense, special forces, engineers and so on. We also need air force, navy, rocket army, net army and so on. It is really narrow to think that one side can be defeated by several tanks. Huadian's electric power specialty belongs to one genus and two genera, with two academicians and Professor Yang, who pioneered the specialty in China. So Huadian is still very strong in the power industry. There are enough tanks and they are strong enough. Although the fighting capacity is reduced, it is still very greasy. The short board is being made up. Other majors in Huadian electrical discipline need time to develop and grow. It can be predicted that Huadian's resources will become the top 2 or top 3 in 10.

In addition, Huadian has also developed new energy majors in recent years, such as nuclear power, wind power, solar energy and hydropower. It also takes time.

With Huadian's resources, it is unlikely to become a comprehensive university, and it will not lead even by competing with many majors for various rankings. Of course, many schools and majors are merged. However, schools like 2 1 1 and 985, which pay more attention to majors than heroes, also have many shortcomings, and the Ministry of Education has also recognized this problem. So now it's time to introduce double-class. However, the double first-class does not look like what the Ministry of Education claims. But 211was cancelled; Part 985 was cancelled and part 985 was strengthened. More inclined to comprehensive universities, more suppressed schools with fewer majors (emphasizing disciplines over majors).

Please note that Huadian is a characteristic industrial university. In the main battlefield strength system of Huadian, Huadian far exceeds the so-called 985 comprehensive university, not to mention the merged 985 school and the lower-grade Industrial 21KLOC-0/985 school.
