Objectively speaking, the development of Xi'an Petroleum University is still good. Although it is only a second-rate petroleum school, the Petroleum University in Shandong is undoubtedly the best. Next is Daqing Petroleum Institute, a school, and Yangtze University. (Jianghan Petroleum Institute), Southwest Petroleum Institute, and Xi'an Petroleum University are basically on the same level, but Southwest is slightly stronger. They have a doctoral program. The other two have their own characteristics. Xi'an Petroleum University's petroleum engineering major is similar to The measurement and control major is an enrollment program. I have heard less about the Fushun Petroleum School that I came down from, and there is another one in Lanzhou, which should be close.
The University of Science and Technology was spun off from the former Machinery Manufacturing Department of Jiaotong University, and it is good in science and engineering. The best ones are water conservancy and hydropower, ranking among the top three in the country, mechanical design, manufacturing and automation, and electrical engineering and automation (electrical). These two majors are also better. Other majors are average. The second-level printing and packaging project is the only one in the country. The supply-demand ratio is 1:8, making it a very easy-to-find major.
But the highway aspect is its strength. If you don’t want to learn about roads, cars, etc., it’s better not to go. If your score is high, it is still recommended to change to a better school. At most, middle- and lower-level schools have lower admission scores.
