The employment rate of these 4 engineering majors is extremely low, and senior high school students should consider it carefully
These 4 engineering majors with extremely low employment rates are carefully considered by finalists.
In the impression of society, engineering has always been regarded as a subject with a high employment rate. This is because it is generally accepted that engineering students are less likely to encounter employment problems because they have technical and practical skills that give them an advantage in the job search process. While this perception is generally consistent with the actual situation, there are exceptions.
With the development of the times, there are more and more types of engineering majors, coupled with the blind expansion of colleges and universities, the employment situation of some engineering majors is not ideal. Among them, the following four engineering majors should be carefully considered by fresh graduates.
i.Bioengineering Bioengineering used to be a popular major, attracting a large number of students to apply. However, through observation in recent years, it has been found that the practicability of this major is not very strong. In the process of university study, the knowledge mastered by students is relatively vague, and it is difficult to effectively grasp practical skills. In order to escape the pressure of employment, many students choose to take interprofessional examinations.
Due to the underdevelopment of China's biological industry and the small number of large-scale biological enterprises, the employment situation of bioengineering graduates is relatively severe.
Second, Environmental Engineering Environmental engineering is a broad discipline that covers multiple research directions. However, at present, most colleges and universities do not have a subdivision direction when recruiting students at the undergraduate level, resulting in a relatively fragmented and unsystematic knowledge of students. This makes it difficult for students to be recognized in the labor market.
However, if environmental engineering students are able to conduct experimental research and acquire relevant skills with their supervisors during their postgraduate studies, their future prospects are still promising.
Third, graduates of the Materials Science program mainly study the composition, structure, process and properties of materials. However, at the undergraduate level, students are exposed to more theoretical knowledge and lack practical experience. This has led to a low employment rate for materials science graduates due to a lack of practical skills.
If students can delve into a niche at the graduate level and gain practical experience, the employment situation will improve.
Fourth, professional quality and food safety courses are generally set up in science and technology or agriculture and forestry faculties and universities. Although food safety is a national priority, the reality is not so rosy. Whether it is a large catering enterprise or a general food enterprise, there is not much demand for food graduates.
As a result, many graduates find it difficult to find employment, and they are generally only allowed to work in low-quality inspection jobs in low-wage food processing plants.
The learning content of the above four engineering majors is too broad, and students lack practical skills, and the employment rate is low. Therefore, fresh graduates should be particularly cautious when choosing majors, and it is best to choose engineering majors with good employment prospects, such as computer, electronic information, etc.
