Mechanical major is HKUST's ace major. The cognition passed down from generation to generation is that students who graduate from here, except those who take the postgraduate entrance examination, can basically find jobs and their wages will not be too low. Professional teachers are old teachers, diligent and careful.
As for the school environment, to be honest, it is not ideal. The first one is a little small, which vividly shows that it can walk around in 15 minutes. In the early years, there were some illegal buildings next to the school, the front door was blocked and the back door was chaotic, and all kinds of vendors piled up in a mess. What they have not experienced is all described by the previous seniors.
However, it is said that thanks to the new mayor of Taiyuan, the teaching building was built, the road and viaduct at the entrance were also repaired, and the road surface was widened. Bus 6 1 1 can go directly to the school gate. Taxis used to be reluctant to come, but now they are available, and it is also convenient to go to downtown Taiyuan. 10 or so, the street behind the school began to be rectified, and the vendors disappeared. It used to be the same back door as the vegetable market, but it's much better now.
There are three canteens, but the taste is just so-so. Maybe my mouth is picky. Shanxi is a big pasta province, so as a southerner, it is very difficult to eat rice at school on weekdays. The weight of noodles is really sufficient, and the bowl is as big as my face. I only saw it when I came to Taiyuan to go to college. Because there is public transportation in the city center, I sometimes sneak into the city. There are also internet cafes and restaurants in the school. When the tea shop came in, I was lazy.
The style of study is still very good, because I study mechanics, and it is hard to do experiments on weekdays. The leadership of the school is also from engineering. In recent years, some liberal arts majors have been added. At first, it should be bad. Personally, I suggest not to come here to study outside of engineering. The teacher will do some projects with them. I don't know about other majors, but the major of mechanical materials is very good. It is said that the first batch of teachers were transferred from Tsinghua and Harbin Institute of Technology, and today's teachers have also inherited the old diligent and rigorous teaching tradition. Although the economic situation in Shanxi is not good, some old professors may not catch up with some university teachers from other provinces, but they are still very concerned about us, and even some enthusiastic teachers will help introduce their jobs when they graduate. Therefore, the employment rate of students majoring in mechanical engineering is high, as mentioned earlier. Basically, as soon as they graduate from a large mechanical engineering group, people like Xugong will recruit, but there are many people who don't take the postgraduate entrance examination immediately.
The only difficulty is that freshmen have evening self-study, so it's good to get through it.
