This major belongs to the category of energy and power in engineering. 1998 The Catalogue of Undergraduate Majors in Colleges and Universities promulgated by the Ministry of Education merged nine majors, including thermal energy engineering, thermal energy engineering and power machinery, into 1 major, namely "thermal energy and power engineering".
Judging from the employment market in recent years, employees majoring in energy and power engineering basically belong to the "seller's market", which is completely unexpected. Generally speaking, a country's gross national product is roughly proportional to its energy consumption. Energy and power engineering is directly related to the development of national economy and the level of people's living standards, so the employment rate of related majors is also at a high level for a long time. Relevant data show that the employment rate of energy and power engineering has been stable at 90%-95%. A veritable "good job".
This also filled the volunteers for the majority of high school students and lit up the morning star. At present, there are not a few universities offering this major in China, and Chongqing University is one of them.
School of Energy and Power Engineering of Chongqing University started from 1937 Department of Power, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Chongqing University. It is one of the earliest teaching and research bases of thermal science and engineering research in China. In the development of more than 80 years, the teachers of the older generation, such as Jin Xiru, Zhao Zelun, Xiao Daren and Zhou Qijian, have cultivated a large number of talents with their advanced educational concepts, rigorous academic attitude and meticulous style, and are well-known in the field of power engineering in China. A number of well-known experts and professors who are influential at home and abroad have emerged. Today, this secondary college still has a strong faculty. Among the professional teachers, more than 99% have doctoral degrees, and more than 75% have overseas experience.
Relying on a team of highly educated and high-quality teachers, many disciplines in the School of Energy and Power Engineering have developed rapidly. As early as 1996, the discipline of engineering thermophysics has been rated as a provincial key discipline, and it was rated as a national key discipline again in 2007. In addition, in 2007, power engineering and engineering thermophysics were rated as the first-class key disciplines in Chongqing.
The energy and power engineering major itself has also been selected as a national-level advantage major, and its strength is "great"! In recent years, the graduates of this major are distributed in major power companies, electric power design and research institutes, large and medium-sized energy-using enterprises, government planning and environmental protection departments, refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment enterprises, universities and other units. The demand for graduates is in short supply, and the employment rate has remained high year after year, staying at around 95%. The degree of Excellence can be seen.
In addition, the secondary college also has outstanding undergraduate majors such as nuclear engineering and technology, new energy science and engineering, and energy storage science and engineering.
