1. Energy and Power Engineering is committed to the utilization of traditional energy and the development of new energy, and how to use energy more efficiently. Energy includes not only traditional energy sources such as water, coal and oil, but also new energy sources such as nuclear energy, wind energy and bioenergy, as well as hydrogen energy that will be widely used in the future. Power includes internal combustion engine, boiler, aero-engine, refrigeration and related test technology. 20 12 The Ministry of Education adjusted thermal energy and power engineering to energy and power engineering in the new edition of undergraduate specialty catalogue of ordinary colleges and universities.

2. Non-2 1 1 Universities with the right to award master's degrees in energy and power are: Jiangsu University, Nanjing University of Technology, Zhejiang University of Technology, Daqing Petroleum Institute, north university of china, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology, Liaoning University of Science and Technology, Liaoning University of Petrochemical Technology, Northeast Li Dian University, harbin university of science and technology, Anhui University of Technology, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Nanjing Normal University, Jiangsu University of Technology Shandong Jianzhu University, Qingdao University, Qingdao University of Science and Technology, Shanghai Electric Power Institute, Hebei University of Technology, Hebei University of Technology, Changsha University of Science and Technology, Guangdong University of Technology, etc. 、

Third, considering the professional development of students on the basis of generous, the major of thermal energy and power engineering is divided into the following four professional directions:

(1) Thermal power engineering and control direction (including energy and environmental engineering, new energy development and research direction) mainly focuses on thermal energy conversion and utilization system;

(2) Heat engine and automobile engineering with internal combustion engine and its drive system as the main part, and the power direction of the ship;

(3) The direction of fluid machinery and refrigeration cryogenic engineering mainly focuses on the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical work;

(4) The direction of thermal power and water conservancy and hydropower power engineering is mainly to convert mechanical work into electrical energy.

Fourth, graduates should have the following knowledge and abilities:

1, with a solid foundation in natural science, good foundation in humanities, art and social science, and the ability to correctly use the spoken and written languages of the nation;

2. Systematically master the extensive basic knowledge of technical theory in this field, including engineering mechanics, mechanics, engineering thermophysics, fluid mechanics, electrical and electronics, control theory, market economy, enterprise management, etc.
