First, on the one hand, these new majors mainly come from the needs of universities to actively serve the national strategy, regional economic society and industrial development. For example, the establishment of the specialty of "Aerospace Intelligent Electric Propulsion Technology" by Beihang University is an important measure for Beihang University to respond to the national "double carbon" strategic development goal, serve the country's major needs, and implement the policy of cultivating high-quality talents in the new era. The new major of carbon storage science and engineering in Chongqing University is to meet the demand of high-end talent training for China's major strategic goals of "peak carbon dioxide emission" and "carbon neutrality".
Secondly, on the other hand, the setting of new majors embodies the distinct interdisciplinary characteristics. There are still many engineering categories in the newly added majors, which embodies the distinctive characteristics of interdisciplinary integration of new engineering. Driven by the development of new liberal arts, the traditional liberal arts major has been integrated with science, engineering, agriculture and medicine, and integrated into modern information technology, showing a brand-new look and an upward trend. For example, big data management and application, digital economy, cross-border electronic commerce, financial technology, network and new media are all typical new liberal arts majors.
Third, how to choose a new major?
1, based on personal interests.
Parents of candidates must fully consider their own interests, personality, ability and other factors, and understand the training objectives, curriculum, future employment and career development of new majors. This is especially important for candidates who choose new majors in China. After fully understanding, if a major is your interest, the courses you offer are your specialty, and the work you do after graduation is more in line with your temperament and personality, then you might as well include it in the category of elective major.
2. Refer to related majors when choosing time.
The newly added majors have no data from previous years for reference, so parents will inevitably feel anxious and it is difficult to grasp the range of admission scores. What should we do? I suggest you find a major or discipline similar to the newly added major in this school, and then check the average admission scores of these majors in previous years for reference. If there is no similar major, you can refer to the average score of the overall major admission of the institution, which can increase the admission opportunities.
3. Choose the relevant strong professional institutions.
Generally speaking, many new majors are developed on the basis of the original dominant disciplines, which corresponds to the school-running characteristics, so it is very powerful to set up professional schools. Many new majors are interdisciplinary, so we can try our best to choose those institutions with disciplinary characteristics and advantages in the professional field. Take the Internet of Things as an example. Closely related to the Internet of Things are computer and communication majors. When applying for the exam, you can find a school with a strong computer or communication major.
Fourth, on the one hand, the new major may be a good opportunity to get low marks, on the other hand, the development of the new major will take time. After graduation, there may still be no mature market in this industry, and there will be an embarrassing situation in finding a job. However, since the country has set up this major, it shows that the country needs professionals in this field in the future, and there is great development potential in the future from the social environment, which requires our parents to look at it with a developmental perspective.
I hope I can help you. Good luck.
