As far as I know, this major is relatively professional, with miscellaneous courses, including circuit principle, analog electronic technology, digital electronic technology, communication principle, signal and system, digital signal processing, microcomputer principle and application, single chip microcomputer, software technology foundation, physical optics, applied optics, information optics, photoelectric information engineering, information processing foundation, photoelectric detection technology, modern optical measurement technology, sensor principle and so on.
In terms of employment prospects, some people I know have gone to BOE. What BOE can do specifically is Baidu. Some people go to school and want to be physics teachers. Some people went to the optical institute (including state-owned enterprises, military enterprises and institutions), but most of them (more than 50%) chose to go to school (these people included insurance research, postgraduate entrance examination, and some even went to graduate school after World War III). After graduating from graduate school, no one studied for a doctorate. They all chose jobs, some went to BOE, but their positions were transferred to R&D and so on. Of course, some undergraduates also went to R&D posts, and some went to state-owned enterprises, institutions and military enterprises.
This major is really difficult to learn, and the application of optical things is relatively narrow. If employed, most of them are in the direction of image processing, such as optical design. Generally speaking, this major is suitable for scientific research, not for direct employment. After graduate school, it's ok. Generally speaking, it is not enough, but it is enough. However, there is actually little competition in this line, and it is relatively easy to take the postgraduate entrance examination.
