Introduction to the major of Mechanical Engineering & Automation
2012/01/14
Mechanical Engineering & Automation is a comprehensive discipline integrated with mechanical, electronics and information
technology. It is the basis of machinery manufacturing, the mother of any processing industries and the essential power of
continuous increase for national economy. Basic and professional knowledge and applied ability about general mechanical
design, manufacture and automationand design of polymer materials processing machinery are trained in this major. The
students will be cultivated to be senior engineering and technical personnel who can do works about design, manufacture,
scientific research development, applied research, operational guidance and management trade etc in the field of mechanical
engineering and automation.
The main courses of this major are theoretical mechanics, material mechanics, mechanical principle, engineering materials &
basis of machine, interchangeability & testing technique, mechanical design, mechatronics technology, mechanism manufac-
turing process, control theory for mechanical engineering, mechatronics transmission and control, metal cutting principle and
cutting tool, NC machining technology, hydrostatic transmission, advanced manufacturing technology, non–traditional machin-
ing, design of rubber machinery, basis of polymer process.
This major has the authorization of PhD degree, master’s degree and bachelor’s degree. After graduated, the students can get in
graduate stage to pursue advanced studies; also can go to work at organization about mechanical manufacture, mechanical and
electronic, polymer materials processing machinery etc. The job may concern design, manufacture, research and development,
producing management, trade or sale etc. Some of the students can get in ALPS Company (Japan) realizing international employ-
ment. The students of this major have a broad career space and a great market need, so employment status of this major is
good.
The Program System and Credit Requirement
The program is supposed to be finished on a four-year basis, with a minimum requirement of 175 credits for the fulfillment of
the bachelor’s degree. Among the credits, 117.5 are from compulsory courses.
