Previously, Mr. Xiaozhi explained to you the selection of majors under the discipline category of engineering. So today, let's talk about a good partner in engineering - science.
Both in terms of the number of majors offered by colleges and universities and the number of students enrolled, engineering and science are the two largest disciplines. People are also accustomed to refer to these two disciplines together as "science and engineering".
Although there is a certain connection between the two, they are very different in terms of learning direction and subject area.
First of all, science is a basic science. This discipline category includes mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geographical sciences, atmospheric sciences, marine science, geophysics, geology, biological sciences, psychology and statistics, which are 12 undergraduate majors.
In terms of subject selection requirements,Some colleges and universities under the category of geographical sciences require compulsory geography, such as Shanghai Normal University, Central China Normal University, Southwest University, etc., and some colleges and universities are limited to materialization, such as Chengdu University of Technology, Lanzhou University, etc.
Then, most colleges and universities do not have course selection requirements for psychology majors. The remaining majors such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry are all required for physics and chemistry.
Secondly,Which students are suitable for science?Teacher Xiaozhi suggested that if you have a solid foundation in mathematics and physics, strong abstract thinking ability, and love to ask "why" when encountering problems, you are not in a hurry to get a job after graduating from undergraduate, but continue to study at home or abroad, study for a master's degree or doctorate, and aspire to become a scientist or professor, then you can choose a science major.
In addition, it is also advantageous to transfer to engineering at the graduate level on the basis of studying science.
However, the difficulty of learning science majors, especially the course difficulty of mathematics and physics-related majors, can be said to be the top level among all university majors, and the majors with the highest failure rate and dropout rate in major universities are often pure science majors, which shows the high difficulty of learning.
Therefore, if you want to learn science well, it takes a lot of effort and a certain amount of talent, so you must plan and prepare!
