What kind of work can be done after graduating from the automation program? How about the employment prospects? For students to raise this issue, I share my personal views, for reference only! Automation professional job prospects are still very good. Can be engaged in automation engineering work, automation design, systems engineering, electromechanical equipment automation control engineering, data acquisition, electronics, computer control systems engineering, artificial intelligence, robotics engineering and so on. You can engage in technical design research and development can also be engaged in maintenance and repair and other work.
I, automation majors if you are a bachelor's degree, if you go to the enterprise employment, you need to start from the workshop, depending on the individual situation, probably about 1 year, the workshop exercise one year, you can be engaged in the work of the design assistant, drawings and so on, design assistant for about 1 year or so, you can participate in the simple design, if you excel in completing the task, you can participate in the design of the module. If you pass the assessment, you will be allowed to independently complete a module of the project. Until you become able to develop and manage projects independently. This is a basic career path (not the only one). If you go directly to a research organization, it is quite difficult to graduate with a bachelor's degree, unless it is very special. If you go to a design institute, it's still pretty good, with experienced mentors to guide you.
Two, employment prospects. Now the country attaches great importance to the development of manufacturing. Especially intelligent manufacturing, smart manufacturing, coupled with the application of 5G and the future arrival of the 6G era, automatic control jobs will grow from geometric levels. Whether private enterprises, or joint ventures, state-owned enterprises and even government departments are in urgent need of automatic control professionals. Design and manufacturing production needs automatic professionals, control system maintenance and upgrading also need a large number of automation professionals, the use of enterprises or units also need to have automatic professional background. Therefore, the employment prospects are still very good.
In short, automation can be engaged in a wide range of jobs after graduation, which has a lot to do with the characteristics of this discipline, automatic control involves almost all areas. Therefore job prospects are also quite good!
