What does information engineering major do? What are the employment prospects?

Information engineering mainly studies the basic knowledge and skills of information collection, transmission, processing, utilization, analysis and control system design, and carries out the design and debugging of communication network and network security foundation, information collection and processing. For example: the design of face and fingerprint information acquisition system, the design of medical CT tomography scanner, etc. Compared with communication engineering, information engineering is more inclined to information collection, and communication engineering is more inclined to information transmission.

Information engineering is an undergraduate major in colleges and universities, which belongs to electronic information major. The basic study period is four years, and the bachelor of engineering degree is awarded.

This major is an engineering major closely related to modern engineering technology, with photoelectric information science and technology as the core, and its learning content involves mathematical basis, engineering optics, information optics, electronic technology, photoelectric technology, communication technology, measurement and control technology, computers and other information engineering fields, aiming at cultivating students with basic theories, basic knowledge and basic skills of photoelectric information science and technology, enabling them to have a solid mathematical and physical foundation and master theoretical and experimental skills related to lasers, modern optics and optoelectronics.

Main courses: circuit and system, signal and linear system, random signal processing, communication electronic circuit, digital signal processing, information theory, coding theory, microcomputer principle, software engineering foundation, modern control principle, communication system principle, information network foundation, data acquisition, digital signal and information processing, etc.

Employment orientation: Graduates can engage in research, development, design, application and management in the fields of artificial intelligence, big data and information security. And work in electronic information research institutes, high-tech industrial companies, enterprises and institutions.

What is the employment prospect of information engineering major? The future development focuses on electronic information product manufacturing, software industry and integrated circuits. Emerging communication services, such as data communication, multimedia, Internet, telephone information services, mobile phone short messages and other services will also expand rapidly; Also worthy of attention are cultural and technological industries, such as online games. At present, there are four kinds of talents supported by information technology: troubleshooting, equipment and customer service, software and hardware installation, configuration update and system operation, monitoring and maintenance. In addition, there is a great demand for e-commerce and interactive media, database development and software engineering.
