In recent years, the enrollment scale is about 60 students, formerly known as the comprehensive class of mathematics, physics and mechanics. The Department of Mechanics has its own independent administrative organization and class concept, with President Qian as honorary head teacher. Being affiliated to the School of Science is mainly because the mechanics major of Shanghai University is biased towards theoretical research. Different from the departments of mathematics, physics and chemistry, the department of mechanics is mainly set up to transport reserve talents for Shanghai Institute of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics. The number of graduate students recommended for each session is 10- 13, accounting for about 20% of the total enrollment. At present, there are about 200 undergraduates in the Department of Mechanics. All specialized courses in the Department of Mechanics are taught by senior professors of the Institute of Mechanics. At the same time, students in the department of mechanics must have a more solid foundation in mathematics and physics than students in the department of mathematics and physics. All courses are taught in small classes, and the basic courses of mathematics and physics are exactly the same as those of the Department of Mathematics and Physics. At the same time, the learning cycle should be shortened.
After graduation, half of the students who didn't go to graduate school jumped ship. Mechanics itself is boring, theoretical and not very practical. It depends on the interests and specialties of the landlord. If the landlord prepares for postgraduate entrance examination, it is a good choice. If you are not interested, it will be more difficult.
The mechanics of Shanghai University is still very good, ranking around 15 in the national ranking. For example, fluid mechanics is a national key discipline, with 1 national experimental teaching demonstration centers. If it's graduate school or PhD, graduate school is still very good. I have money and many projects, so I don't have to worry about graduation. My classmate said that there are people from Shanghai Space Agency, Shanghai Tunnel Company, various research institutes and design institutes, so I don't have to worry about my work.
