Everyone wants students to study good majors and popular majors, but there are many people who apply for these majors, and the scores are very high.
Moreover, many students and their parents still want to "rush" to school, but they are very afraid of being admitted to unpopular majors, which is a headache!
However, among the university majors, there are some majors:
The popularity is not high, and the score is not high, but the future employment can go to popular fields, and you can use these majors to "guarantee", or "rush" these majors in good universities, and the future development is still very good.
This kind of major can be regarded as a low-scoring "stand-in" for popular majors.
Today, Mr. Lu will introduce 2 "stand-in" majors to you!
1. Information and Computing Science: "Stand-in" for computer science.
Many teachers like to say to students and parents that "this major is a mathematics major, not a computer major", but in fact, this major is indeed a mathematics major, but it is very close to computer science.
There are three main types of core professional courses for computer science majors: (1) various mathematics courses, (2) basic computer theory courses, and (3) various programming language courses.
Let's take Hangzhou Dianzi University as an example to take a look at the curriculum of information and computing science:
(1) To learn a lot of mathematics, the core of the computer major is mathematics, and information and computing science itself is a mathematics major, and mathematics courses are indispensable.
Mathematics is also very important for computer science majors in the future.
(2) The core basic theory courses of computer science majors: data structure, algorithm analysis, computer network, computer composition principles, databases, etc., and all information and computing science majors must be studied.
(2) In terms of programming languages, students should learn C language, C++, JAVA, Python and other languages, and the main programming languages of computer science majors, as well as information and computing science majors.
In fact, many people ignore one point: it is true that information and computing science is a mathematics major, but this major is for the computer industry, and it belongs to the application direction of mathematics, not a pure mathematics major.
If a student wants to apply for some universities with strong computer majors, but the scores of computer science majors are too high, but this school has information and computing science majors, then this major can be used to guarantee the bottom.
If you are admitted to this major, study hard, and there will be no obstacles in the future, whether you enter the Internet industry or take the computer science graduate exam!
2. Engineering mechanics: "stand-in" for mechanical, aerospace and civil engineering majors.
When many students look at the name of this major, they think that this is a "physics" major, but in fact: in the classification of university majors, engineering mechanics belongs to engineering majors.
Engineering mechanics has two main development directions: (1) mechanical-related fields and (2) civil engineering-related fields.
These two fields are actually the most important application fields of mechanics. If you are studying mechanics, vehicles, and civil engineering in college, you should also take mechanics courses every day.
Whether a university's engineering mechanics major is going to the field of machinery or civil engineering depends on the industry's industry attributes and specific training programs.
Take Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics as an example:
Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics majored in engineering mechanics, which belongs to the "School of Aeronautics", mainly relying on the two "double first-class" disciplines of "mechanics" and "aeronautics and astronautics science and technology".
If students want to go to China Southern Airlines or other strong aerospace schools, and work in the aerospace field in the future, they can actually choose the engineering mechanics major of these schools.
If the student goes to a school with a very strong mechanical major: then the engineering mechanics major of this school is most likely engaged in mechanics.
If a school's water conservancy and civil engineering majors are particularly good, then its engineering mechanics major is most likely engaged in water conservancy and civil engineering.
If you want to choose a "stand-in", you must pay attention to:
(1) If the student's future career plan has very clear professional restrictions, then this kind of "stand-in" major will not work.
For example, when recruiting civil servants and central enterprises, there will be clear professional requirements. People name "computer science majors", but if you are a major in information and computing science, then it will not work.
(2) When choosing this kind of "stand-in major", be sure to look at the talent training plan of the specific school.
Taking engineering mechanics as an example, some schools are engaged in mechanical direction, some are engaged in aerospace, some are engaged in civil engineering, and some are engaged in water conservancy, and the difference is very large.
Be sure to take a look at the school's talent training program, and what field the university you are applying to is specifically about.
