1. China's current mechanical development of different geographical areas very much have their own characteristics. Mainland machinery industry is still mainly practical, mainly to solve the domestic internal demand, so the industry involved is relatively traditional, facing all sectors of society, from national construction to civilian consumer goods are involved. Coastal machinery industry is based on finishing and light industry, due to a large number of foreign investment and the influx of demand for subcontracting or secondary processing, so the machinery industry is mostly presented in the miniaturization, high-end, rapid response. While North China and Northeast China and other northern regions, the heavy industry as a typical representative, which has a certain relationship with the historical reasons, in addition to the rich mineral resources in the north also led to the relatively more developed heavy industry. Obviously, if for income and new technology, the eastern coastal region of the machinery industry is certainly the first choice; but to comprehensively learn the basic mechanical aspects of the knowledge, on the contrary, the mainland is more advantageous. Because there is hardly any heavy industry left in the coastal areas, it is incorrect to categorize heavy industry away from the machinery industry.
2. Engaged in what specific industries, is not recommended to engage in automotive and mold, because many practitioners, competitive pressure, the overall industry level is low. Once someone asked me why my profile on the telecom, my answer is that my team is mechanical design, but we do the product is a telecom network products, which does not conflict. The same, whether it is machine tools or molds, specific to the product, always different. Let me give you an example, the same mechanical engineers, one designing medical equipment, one designing standard parts, who do you think has a higher income, who has a higher technical content? Obviously the one designing medical devices has a much higher income and technical ability. So there is an impact on the type of work, and an even greater impact on the product classification.
At present, the domestic better industries are medical equipment, telecommunications hardware, network communications, heavy equipment, precision equipment, semiconductors, automation equipment, and standardized components; previously better, but in the downhill industry are automotive, textile, microelectronics, telecommunications software, elevators, logistics, etc.; the more dismal experience of the industry is too much, not to list.
Mechanical industry classification, the better for R & D, CAE analysis applications related to manufacturing / assembly for the next, the other slightly worse.
3. The order of business preference: from top to bottom: U.S.-funded > European-funded > joint venture > Japanese-funded > large state-owned enterprises
Taiwanese-funded, Korean-funded, and privately-owned enterprises are the ones that I have T out of my considerations, and I have described them in the corresponding posts. The corporate culture is represented by American and Japanese; the company process has to be modeled after American; and the work skills have to be modeled after Japanese.
If you are more introverted and, well, a sit-down kind of person, then you can go for a SOE. The SOE system is overwhelming, but at the moment, SOEs are the only place where the master-apprentice model still exists. If you are not proactive enough and want someone to guide you all the time, then you can go into a state-owned enterprise for two years, but at most two years, don't stay too long. If you are active enough, very active, inquisitive, and able to take the initiative to ask, then you should choose foreign capital, recommended Japanese companies. Because Japanese companies, one very good thing, although the people are cold, but really will teach you a lot of things. As long as you are active enough, as long as you open your mouth to ask, basically there is an answer. Here do not recommend private companies, because the boss are very realistic, they only need to come in as soon as you can work, you can give him to create profits for the people, you obviously do not fit; also do not recommend Taiwan, South Korea companies, because they will only squeeze you. European and American companies are more complicated, this point will be explained separately later.
The larger the company's size, the better, said the small company can learn more, it is because fewer people, accordingly, everyone has to do more things, in fact, so, a lot of things seem to have learned, but in fact, the practice is very unorthodox. The company is large, that process and system is completely, then although each person accordingly less, but there is an opportunity to teach others, to learn other skills. So the ability to self-learning is still the most important, as for how to mix in the company, to learn, to ask for advice, and even to steal the teacher, it depends on the ability of the individual.
4. Direction of practice: the mechanical industry is no shortage of direction, due to the number of practitioners is quite large, the industry has emerged a large number of quite good talent, of course, the demand is very large, so there is no saturation problem. At present, in terms of development and income considerations, mechatronics, automation, mechanical development and design of the direction is better than the other direction, but the requirements for experience in the field is relatively high. Also you won't learn anything cutting edge in school. The basics of the mechanical industry are very boring and extremely slow to accumulate, there are no shortcuts. And some seemingly cutting-edge equipment and technology, in fact, broken down and look again, is the product of the continuous optimization and combination of ordinary technology.
5. Mechanical industry classification: the mechanical industry is profound, to be subdivided, then, spilling endless, according to the major categories, is also a matter of opinion. My classification is relatively simple (only personal opinion, leaving aside the more remote content): processing, manufacturing, equipment, development of these four major directions.
These years to seek help from friends, really has been involved in the development of very few friends, which may have some relationship with the seniority, not to talk about here; equipment belongs to the maintenance and technical services of this piece, in fact, is a large mechanical classification, but because of the number of practitioners is small, and relatively cold, so not to say much; and the processing of this piece, is that I have received the most requests for help, and also at present, the number of domestic practitioners is the largest; manufacturing has always been the most important part of the process, but also a very important part of the process. Manufacturing has always been the main industry I recommend everyone to engage in. How do these four categories relate to each other? My understanding is this:
Processing is the most primary application, is the basis of all mechanical technology, so the number of practitioners, the basic knowledge of the mechanical industry requires a high degree of exercise; manufacturing is the processing of the latter program, can be considered to be the processing of the advancement of the core content is the processing of the finished parts into finished products of a process of mechanical assembly and functionality embodiment of the requirements of the high, but has been somewhat reduced. But has been reduced to some extent on the processing technology requirements; equipment maintenance, technical services is a further level, must be on the mechanical foundation, electromechanical knowledge and manufacturing technology have a high degree of understanding to engage in this industry; and development is a set of the whole, need to dominate the above all the basis of the industry. So these four classifications are arranged in this order, and it can also be said that the actual work of the income is also largely distributed in this way from low to high. That's why many of my friends who are still in the processing industry, I recommend that they jump from processing to manufacturing, then to technology, and finally to development in that order.
6. The various branches of the machinery industry, processing industry, although important, after all, from the point of view of career development, is not as good as several other industries. And because of the level of practitioners around and the quality of their own problems, resulting in even if you are very active and learning, it is still difficult to get rid of the influence of the environment, and even your friends around you will become a hindrance to your development. And if you are asked to develop in the direction of mechanical design now, I think it's really too high a jump at once. As many of my other posts have mentioned, mechanical design is a combination of a lot of knowledge, skills, and experience.
Mechanical manufacturing, including all the machining of the back-channel program, the main product assembly, debugging, quality control (and quality of the quality department of the quality control is different, here refers to the production sector of the quality control), the product production technology, and even contains some fixtures and fixtures of engineering maintenance and production tools and so on. We are currently engaged in this industry a lot of people, but the overall level is very low, and the practitioners are not stable. In fact, the gap between us and the world is a lot worse here.
Since most companies recruit college students to work as manufacturing engineers, but the fact is that they have no experience and do not have enough mechanical foundation, so although the number of people is large, but the level is generally poor, but their income and development are good. And for some formal company's manufacturing department, there are complete process and technical specifications, which can greatly expand your horizons and enhance your technical ability. And college students are not useless, you will find that they do outperform others in terms of understanding and learning ability.
Z transferred from the network, I hope to help you grasp the direction of the future, in short CAE is still good
