Electronic engineering is the technical application of electronics and electromagnetic phenomena's law, which is greatly influenced by computer technology and microelectronics technology. According to the different requirements of practical application, many different majors have been developed so far. Among them, the most important are: electronic power technology, information and communication technology (telecommunications technology), (micro) electronics, automation technology and general electronic engineering. The latter has a wide range of learning contents, covering almost all the above courses.
The professional content of electronic power technology is the generation, transmission, distribution and application of electric energy. Courses are divided into motor manufacturing, electric heating, high voltage technology, energy supply, high power electronics and so on. The use of renewable energy (solar energy, wind energy, etc.). ) has been paid more and more attention.
Information and communication technology (telecommunication technology) majors involve communication, transmission and processing of information, in which radio technology must be used for information communication. Important fields of this major include digital information processing, electronic and optical information technology, high-frequency technology and communication network. Based on the importance of digital technology, electronic computers and computer programs play a leading role.
Automation technology majors tell about the development and application of process control technology, including the production and use of required hardware and software. The basis of solving the problems of automation technology and conduction technology is the application system theory, regulation technology, measurement technology, process control computer and communication technology.
Microelectronics technology is of great significance to the above three majors. The economic and technological development in the above fields depends on the application of circuit boards, semiconductor components and highly folded integrated conversion circuits. This major involves not only the basic knowledge of physical technology of electronic components, but also the systematic application knowledge of electronic components. Besides paying attention to industrial technology, computer-supported design methods and simulation technologies also play an important role.
The important basic disciplines of electronic engineering include the application of mathematics, physics and computer science, among which, compared with other engineering disciplines, this major requires higher mathematical knowledge. Mechanical manufacturing, material science and technology fever are quite important auxiliary disciplines. At the same time, it also teaches the basic knowledge of enterprise management and management methodology. The study of system theory is very important in the process of professional learning. This course mainly studies the model construction, analysis and optimization of complex systems of information, energy and automation technology, and contains many development directions to be further studied. Mechanical manufacturing is very close to electronic engineering, especially precision instrument technology, mechatronics and computer science. Because of the close correlation of its subordinate disciplines, we should avoid determining the research direction too early.
