The vehicle engineering major will not be eliminated in the future.
At present, almost all car companies are shouting the slogan of transformation. However, in the new four modernizations of the automobile industry, the professional skills required for "electrification, networking, intelligence and enjoyment * * *" have a low degree of overlap with traditional mechanical majors, and there is almost no overlap between automotive electronics, chip development, artificial intelligence, car networking, big data and traditional mechanical professional basic courses, which puts forward higher requirements for talent training in the automobile industry.
but in my opinion, there is no need to criticize the vehicle engineering major. According to my observation, in 219, some colleges and universities offering vehicle engineering and mechanical design majors began to adjust their courses, and joined the research on cutting-edge technologies of the automobile industry such as intelligent networking technology, automation, human-computer interaction and user experience.
For students majoring in vehicle engineering, on the basis of the original knowledge, consciously learning new knowledge such as artificial intelligence and automation may have an advantage over other interdisciplinary practitioners. The whole vehicle engineering major is to impart knowledge around the automobile industry chain. Therefore, learning the cutting-edge technology on the basis of mastering the macro knowledge of automobiles can better meet the employment needs of automobile enterprises.
