With the rapid development of science and technology, more and more attention has been paid to the development and application of optical, mechanical and electrical integration systems. However, due to the influence of traditional id eas, many candidates have an obvious misunderstanding of this major, and think that observation technology is to make arduous measurements with instruments such as a triangle and a ruler. In fact, this is only a simple understanding and a superficial mistake.
China's industry had no position in the international market for a long time before. One of the important reasons was that there were too many popular commodities with poor quality and no high-quality products, which could not compete with other industrial powers. This was related to the lack of measurement and control professionals in China. In order to connect with the world and improve the international competitiveness of China enterprises, product quality is a key. Therefore, it is increasingly important to observe and control professionals.
This major is characterized by the integration of optics, mechanics, electricity and computer, and it cultivates all kinds of advanced engineering technology and management and operation talents with modern scientific innovation consciousness, wide knowledge, solid basic theory, computer and foreign language skills, and can be engaged in computer application, electronic information, intelligent instruments, virtual instruments, measurement and control and other fields. At the same time, because of their wide professional knowledge, strong adaptability and broad development opportunities, they can also engage in high-tech work such as design, manufacture, development and application in the fields of measurement, testing, control engineering, intelligent instruments and meters, computer software and hardware, and it is easier to change careers.
Third, the development of vocational education. The great discoveries in the history of science are often obtained due to the invention of new measurement technology. In the era of information technology, observation technology and measuring instruments are necessary tools to realize information acquisition, storage and processing, and also to reveal material movement. In the process of modernization, people have higher technical requirements for instruments because they have the function of monitoring production technology and product quality.
Observation technology and measuring instruments are suitable for various practical disciplines, such as industrial automation, production process automation, detection technology and measuring instruments, electronic instruments and measuring technology, computer process control and so on. At present, almost all universities and colleges of science and engineering offer this major. Because this major was established earlier in China, it is already in a mature stage. Observation technology and measuring instruments can be said to be a frontier discipline, which is closely related to automatic control, industrial automation, instrumentation and computer specialty. However, it is precisely because of this connection between observation technology and measuring instruments that graduates of this major can choose a wide range of employment directions, and they can also enter production engineering automation enterprises to engage in automatic control, automatic detection and other aspects of work, and they can also develop and design instruments in scientific research units, and at the same time, they can find space suitable for their personal development in the field of engineering detection and computer application.
The professional development of testing technology and measuring instruments in China has gone through a long journey and has made great progress now. In domestic colleges and universities, there are now specialties of testing technology and measuring instruments, such as Tsinghua University, Beijing Institute of Technology, Tianjin University, Northeastern University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Zhejiang University and Nanjing University of Science and Technology. And a number of colleges and universities have opened master's programs in testing technology and measuring instruments with the approval of the State Education Commission. At present, the number of students enrolled in the major of test technology and measuring instruments is about 3,000 each year, and the graduates are widely employed in industrial automation enterprises, instrumentation industries and various scientific research institutions to engage in work related to this major. From today's point of view, in the information technology era, instruments and meters are the necessary tools to realize information acquisition, conversion, storage and display of material movement, the necessary means to mark the three pillars of information technology (information acquisition and processing, information transmission and communication, electronic technology and computer), and the important content of the new technological revolution.
