In the face of a large number of "adventure islands" caused by "only recognizing famous schools and not asking about majors" in the past decade, parents and candidates' mentality of choosing schools gradually tends to be rational. Compared with the previous phenomenon that candidates "pay more attention to academics than ability, so long as they have certificates, they care more about professional skills and employment prospects."

I. Civil aviation

Industry Status: Yang Yuanyuan, Director of the Civil Aviation Administration, proposed at the National Civil Aviation Work Conference that by 2020, China will add more than 2,600 aircraft, and the investment of the Civil Aviation Administration in airport construction will exceed 500 billion yuan. At present, the average man-machine ratio of international civil aviation is 100: 1, while that of China civil aviation is 200: 1. This means that China will need at least 500,000 to 700,000 civil aviation talents in the next 20 years based on the international civil aviation level.

Employment prospect: in 20 10, according to the national employment rate data of colleges and universities, the average employment rate of civil aviation related majors is as high as 96%, making it one of the five most popular majors with the highest employment rate. Only in the School of Civil Aviation Management of Beijing University of International Business and Economics, the reporter saw that domestic airlines such as China Southern Airlines, Hainan Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines and Xiamen Airlines have successively launched large-scale recruitment activities; Some private airlines even launched a "talent war", and the competition for civil aviation talents has started.

Including majors: civil aviation transportation, aircrew, aviation service, aviation special vehicle maintenance, air traffic management, aircrew, flight technology, civil aviation business, aviation communication technology, air traffic management, flight manufacturing technology, aviation electromechanical equipment maintenance, civil aviation safety technology management, etc.

Representative institutions: Beihang University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Beijing Institute of International Business and Economics.

Second, actuarial science.

Industry Status: With the establishment of China's socialist market economy and the reform and development of insurance and social security systems, there is an objective demand for actuarial talents. Actuarial science has been widely used in many fields, such as insurance, finance, investment and various risk management. Actuaries are the focus of major domestic insurance companies at present.

Employment prospects: Actuaries are elites in the insurance industry, and they are senior talents in the insurance industry who integrate mathematics, statistics, economy and investment. At present, there are only 100 actuaries in China, and actuarial talents are scarce. Actuarial talents who graduate from colleges and universities every year are far from meeting the market demand. In the next decade, the supply of actuarial talents will be less than the demand.

Representative Office: Hunan University

Third, materials science.

Industry status: Material science is an applied basic discipline to study the relationship between chemical composition, organizational structure, technology, properties and properties of materials. Its main task is to provide scientific basis for material design, manufacturing, process optimization and rational use of materials. Material science is closely related to high-tech industry, and the product market is characterized by globalization, and its subsequent industrial chain development space is also very broad. It is a sunrise industry in 2 1 century.

Employment prospect: China attaches great importance to the cultivation of materials talents, but the major of materials science involves many fields of national economic development. Taking rare earth specialty as an example, Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology and Jiangxi University of Science and Technology, which offer this specialty, have developed rapidly by taking advantage of superior geographical conditions. Therefore, the demand for materials science talents in the talent market is increasing.

Representative institutions: Tianjin University, Fudan University and Shandong University.

Fourth, automobile service major

Industrial Status: The automobile industry is one of the key industries in the 11th Five-Year Plan. At present, only a few universities in China offer automobile service majors, and the scale is not large. But according to international standards, such talents are very important and there is a huge gap.

Employment prospects: Figures provided by Tang Haishan, deputy director of the Secretariat of China Automobile Talents Research Association, show that there is a shortage of 500,000 automobile R&D talents and 800,000 maintenance talents during the 11th Five-Year Plan period. Tang Haishan said that in the next decade, there will be an overall shortage of R&D talents, marketing talents, maintenance talents and management talents.

Representative institutions: At present, Tongji University, Wuhan University of Technology, Shanghai Normal University, Jilin University and Liaoning Institute of Technology offer automobile service engineering.

No machinery, no machinery, no machinery?

Reason: I studied mechanics and changed careers. Why should I change careers? No money.
