This major is a new frontier subject that has developed rapidly with the progress of electronics, materials science, engineering mechanics, information science, computer and other disciplines. Its main research direction is to use engineering technology to study and solve related problems in biology and medicine.
The research of biomedical engineering is mainly based on applied basic research, and its field is very extensive and expanding. At present, its research fields mainly include biomechanics, biomaterials, artificial organs, modeling and control of biological systems, biological effects of physical factors, biomedical signal processing methods, medical imaging and image processing methods, and engineering methods of treatment and rehabilitation. And minimally invasive surgery, geriatrics, family health monitoring, telemedicine and other technologies are also becoming new research fields of this major.
After graduation, most students of this major go to enterprises to engage in the design, manufacture and research of medical devices. But if they graduate from medical school, most of them still go to hospitals and medical research departments to design medical engineering methods, solve clinical medical problems, or manage clinical medical engineering.

Professional name: French
Occupational misunderstanding
If you study French, you can work in France or other European countries in the future. As long as you learn English well, you will certainly learn French well.
interpret
Although French is one of the six international lingua franca, it is regarded as a small language for enrollment and employment in China.
If English is the first language according to the global distribution of languages, then French deserves to be the second language; Judging from the application scope of written language, due to the strict usage of French, important international documents are written in French, and the United Nations takes French as the first written language.
For students who have been studying English for a long time, it will be more difficult to get started in French. Because the letters used in French and English are basically the same, and many words are even spelled the same, but the pronunciation is very different, which is easy to be confused with English grammatically.
Due to historical reasons, many African countries use French as their official language. Therefore, French learners go to Europe for employment less, and go to Africa more. Although African countries are poor, they are rich in natural resources, most of which have not yet been developed. China companies are undertaking more and more projects in Africa. As long as you are willing, all French majors have the opportunity to work in Africa, with an annual salary of more than 6.5438+0.5 million yuan. However, due to the harsh environment in Africa, girls seldom go, and boys majoring in French have become hot items.

Professional Name: Geophysics
Occupational misunderstanding
Seeing the word "earth" reminds me of atmospheric science, marine science, astronomy and aerospace science; Coupled with the word "physics", it is even more profound. How much knowledge is needed to study the earth with physics!
interpret
In a first-class university like Peking University, geophysics is indeed related to aerospace technology and space exploration technology, but in other comprehensive universities and universities of geology, minerals and petroleum, it is basically related to geology, exploration technology and engineering.
As a science major with strong engineering color, its main professional courses are also inextricably linked with "geology", such as geology, petrology, deposit science, geochemistry, remote sensing technology, seismology, gravity mechanics, geomagnetism, geoelectricity, geophysical observation, seismic exploration, earth medium mechanics, crystal mineralogy and so on.
Due to the pertinence and application of this major, most students are employed in the fields of resource and energy exploration, near-surface engineering exploration, earthquake analysis and prediction, metallurgical and mineral resources and oil exploration after graduation, and their work units are basically famous "national names" or "provincial names", and their salary is incomparable to other industries. However, because this major generally works in the field, although the living conditions are not necessarily worse than those in the city, the labor intensity is much greater than that of the general major.

Professional Name: Special Education
Occupational misunderstanding
It is said that all the students are deaf and dumb, and they specialize in Braille and sign language after entering. If you are a healthy candidate, how do you apply for this major?
interpret
Special education specialty in universities and special education for the disabled are two concepts. In the undergraduate catalogue, special education is a major with the nature of normal education, which mainly trains teachers who can educate the disabled.
The disabled people mentioned here are not physical disabilities, but three special children with visual impairment, hearing and language impairment and mental retardation. If you want to be the teacher of these three special children, you must be physically and mentally healthy to apply for the exam.
In recent years, some physical education colleges have also begun to recruit undergraduate majors in special education, which is characterized by not only letting students master the basic knowledge of special education, but also letting students know the relevant knowledge and organization methods of physical education teaching, sports training and sports competitions for the disabled. The employment direction of graduates is to engage in sports teaching, sports organization and sports management for the disabled. There is no doubt that the candidates recruited by these sports colleges are "healthier people among healthy people".
At present, there are 20 million blind, deaf and mentally retarded children in China, but there are less than 2,000 special education schools for these children. Even with the special education classes attached to ordinary primary schools, there are only 600 thousand blind, deaf and disabled students in school. At the same time, the existing teachers in special education schools are seriously aging and their quality is not high, and there are very few teachers who have been trained in "professional classes" of higher special education. All these indicate that special education in China has a long way to go, and it is bound to be promising to apply for and study special education.

Professional Name: Information and Computing Science
Occupational misunderstanding
It is both information and calculation. It must be computer research. But after I entered the university, I found out how this major was positioned in the department of mathematics.
interpret
This major was originally a math major. Different from pure mathematics, it studies how to calculate faster, pays attention to calculation skills, and pays attention to how to use mathematical methods to solve practical problems.
Since it belongs to the department of mathematics, its courses are of course mostly related to mathematics, such as mathematical analysis, advanced algebra, analytic geometry, ordinary differential equations, functional analysis, complex variable functions, mathematical models, probability theory and mathematical statistics, discrete mathematics and so on. Of course, there are some computer courses, such as computer basics, C language programming, computer graphics, computer network technology, information security technology and so on. But these courses are the most basic knowledge of learning computer, and almost all science majors have to learn these courses, which has nothing to do with computer majors.
As far as talent output is concerned, this major not only has a high probability of postgraduate entrance examination, but also has certain competitive potential in the talent market. Graduates can engage in information processing and management, information system design and analysis, application software development, engineering scientific calculation and practical application research in enterprises and institutions in scientific calculation, information technology, communication, computer application, industry, economy, finance, insurance, government management and other related fields.
