Automation is a wide caliber major developed on the basis of electronic science, computer technology and control theory. It takes the automatic control theory as its main theoretical basis, and takes electronic information technology, sensor and detection technology, computer control technologyas the main technical means to detect and control thevarious automation device and system.This major is a comprehensive discipline that combines computer hardware and software, machinery and electronics, components and systems, operation and manufacturing, and integrates control science, machinery engineering, electronic information technology and computer science.
With fostering virtue through education as its purpose, with students as the center, and enabling students to grow and become talents as its guiding philosophy, according to needs of the electronic information technology industry, the talent training of this major trains high-quality engineering technology talents with solid mathematical basis, profound professional knowledge, strong engineering practice and innovation capabilities that can meet the national development needs, develop all-round capabilities in areas such as morals, intelligence, and physical fitness, and can be engaged in scientific research, technology development, engineering design, technical support and management in automation and related fields such as motion control, industrial process control, power electronics technology, and detection and automatic instrument.
In recent years, the number of graduates of this major who have been recommended and admitted for master degrees accounted for 35%-42% of the graduates, and the employment rate of graduates has always maintained above 98%. The graduates mainly work in large and medium-sized cities across the country such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Xi'an, and Suzhou, and the employers mainly include backbone scientific research institutes in the national defense and military industries, transnational corporations and national key enterprises and public institutions and IT enterprise, and so on. They are especially well received in the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta regions.
