I. Employment prospects
1. According to reliable data, by the end of 20 12, only more than 40 colleges and universities in China offered metallurgical engineering majors, and only about 3,000-5,000 professionals were trained each year, which was very limited and the market demand was huge. Relevant statistics show that the market demand for metallurgical engineering professionals is several times the actual number of graduates. Such a large market demand also provides students with broad employment prospects.
2. Because students majoring in metallurgical engineering have a broad foundation, solid theory and comprehensive skills, they also have knowledge and skills in metallurgy and metal material processing. In addition, the metallurgical industry belongs to one of the basic and pillar industries of the national economy, and graduates have a wide range of employment choices and strong adaptability. Graduates can go to the production, scientific research and management departments of metallurgy, chemical industry, materials, environmental protection and related industries to engage in production technology management, engineering design, technology development, research and development of new structural materials and functional materials, and also engage in professional teaching in junior colleges and higher vocational colleges. The vigorous construction of the motherland needs a large number of metallurgical engineering professionals, and many iron and steel metallurgical and non-ferrous metal metallurgical enterprises are good places for students to show their talents.
3. With the rapid development of modern science and technology, this major also puts forward higher requirements for the comprehensive quality of employees, such as the wide application of computer control technology in metallurgical engineering, which enables students to gradually contact and master rich and practical computer knowledge in universities. In addition, the development of this field at home and the exchange of foreign advanced technology are becoming more and more frequent, which also puts forward quite high requirements for students' foreign language use.
Second, the employment direction.
Graduates are suitable to engage in product design, production, technology development, production organization and management, product sales and scientific research in large and medium-sized metallurgical enterprises, metallurgical related equipment manufacturing, metallurgical raw and auxiliary materials production and sales and other industries. The treatment is equivalent to other engineering graduation levels.
In fact, it is relatively easy to find a job after graduation in metallurgical engineering. Most of the companies recruited are powerful state-owned enterprises, such as Jinchuan Company and Xiamen Tungsten Industry, and the competition is not particularly fierce. We can also consider some multinational private enterprises. After entering the company, technical work starts with technicians and works slowly to engineers. If you have certain management ability, it is also possible to be promoted to production management.
pay attention to
Generally, college graduates majoring in metallurgical engineering go to the factory in the first line, that is, to the workshop. The working environment is harsh, the working temperature is high, the noise is huge (the speed of oxygen lance blowing oxygen reaches Mach 2), the labor intensity is high, the labor environment pollution is serious (mainly dust and radiation), and it is dangerous (cross operation). Moreover, it is a shift system of day shift, middle shift and night shift, so it is impossible to be tired, which is the difference between three shifts and four shifts.
