What is the employment prospect of water conservancy and hydropower engineering specialty? What kind of knowledge and ability are needed? Please read the article edited by Zhong Da Consulting Company.

China is at the climax of a new round of hydropower development. It can be said that the employment prospects of most graduates majoring in water conservancy and hydropower engineering (hereinafter referred to as water conservancy engineering) are still very good! It is said that this round of hydropower development climax will last until 2020 (hearsay! Therefore, graduates majoring in hydraulic engineering are basically in short supply, but graduates majoring in hydraulic engineering are still worried about finding jobs, which is related to the working environment and nature of hydraulic engineering! Generally speaking, water and electricity are in high mountains and valleys, and the working environment is relatively bad (just know it when you have been to the construction site of hydropower projects). Hydropower projects are far away from cities, and the work is boring. Moreover, as a hydropower builder, vacation is basically not guaranteed. If you stay at the construction site all the year round, you will really be unable to adapt to city life after a long time.

Training objectives: This major trains senior engineering and technical personnel with knowledge of water conservancy and hydropower engineering survey, planning, design, construction, scientific research and management, and can engage in planning, planning, construction, scientific research and management in water conservancy and hydropower departments.

Training requirements: Students in this major mainly study the basic theories and knowledge of mathematics, mechanics and building structure necessary for the construction of water conservancy and hydropower projects, so that students can get the necessary basic training in engineering design methods, construction management methods and scientific research methods, and have the basic ability of water conservancy and hydropower project survey, planning, design, construction, scientific research and management.

Knowledge and ability that graduates should possess:

1. Solid foundation in natural science, good foundation in humanities and social sciences, and strong comprehensive foreign language ability; 2. Master the basic theories and knowledge of engineering mechanics, fluid mechanics, geotechnical mechanics, engineering geology, engineering survey, engineering hydrology, river dynamics and management; 3. Master the basic theory, knowledge and skills of engineering structure design; 4 master the survey, planning, design, construction and management technology of large and medium-sized water conservancy and hydropower projects and river regulation projects; 5. Strong computer application ability; 6. Have the necessary skills of surveying, mapping, calculation and basic process operation for water conservancy and hydropower projects.

Main courses: engineering mechanics, hydraulics, river dynamics, geotechnical mechanics, engineering geology and hydrogeology, engineering survey, engineering hydrology, engineering economics, building materials, reinforced concrete structures and steel structures.

There are several destinations for graduates majoring in hydraulic engineering: 1, Three Gorges Development Company, Ertan Hydropower Development Company and other employers. These units are the investment units of hydropower projects, so the treatment of these units is better and the work is easier, but they are also in the project location or hydropower station, which is far from the urban area. 2. There are many hydropower design institutes. Due to the climax of hydropower development in recent years, these units have many projects, good treatment and hard work. 3. Due to the particularity of hydropower project, the supervision unit must have supervision. The people in the supervision unit also stay at the construction site all the year round, but the work is quite easy for the construction unit. 4. Construction units such as Hydropower Engineering Bureau are also the units where most graduates majoring in water conservancy engineering go. These units work hard and have low pay, but because they have been exposed to a lot of engineering practice in the front line of hydropower construction, it is easy to accumulate a lot of experience, and these technical talents with a lot of engineering practice experience are exactly what the owners and design units need. It's relatively simple to quit!

The above colleges and universities are the main choices for graduates majoring in water conservancy engineering. However, due to the expansion of colleges and universities and the surplus of college students, it is generally difficult for undergraduates to find owners and design institutions (unless they are well-known water conservancy universities, such as Hohai University, Tsinghua University University, Wuhan University and Sichuan University), and they mainly choose supervision and construction units.

Some students mentioned that hydropower development encountered great resistance. The Three Gorges Project is the most controversial hydropower project. It is said that it is a political project, and there are different opinions. Let future generations evaluate it! As a water conservancy engineer, the Three Gorges is our pride, but it does have many problems that cannot be clearly solved! There is only one Three Gorges Project, but there are four giant power stations (Xiluodu, Xiangjiaba, Baihetan and Wudongde) in Jinsha River (the upper reaches of the Yangtze River). Now it seems that construction has started, all of which are 6,543,800 kilowatts. Finally, although environmentalists exaggerate the impact of hydropower, the impact of hydropower projects on the ecological environment cannot be ignored.
