Life Planning —— Freshmen majoring in mechanical design, manufacturing and automation

Hello, landlord, thank you very much for your trust when you read your message.

Veterans don't deserve it. I have been in the mechanical industry for ten or eight years, so I can only say that I just entered the door. At best, just share my experience.

Because I'm busy recently, I can only answer your question briefly.

First of all, about your hard skills:

In many previous replies, I mentioned that most of the knowledge learned in college is useless, at least for our career development, but it is not absolute. But in your description, it happens that your English and engineering mathematics are poor, and there are engineering drawings.

For the general occupation, the only courses that can help the future work and life in the university are foreign languages and engineering mathematics, and occasionally the basic computer language is also useful. I really don't need to say the role of foreign languages. Everyone envies the high income of foreign capital, but the foreign language is not good. You didn't even get a chance to come in. My boss is European. How can I work if my language is not good? Engineering mathematics is also a general subject, which is needed not only by science and engineering, but also by arts. There is a simple reason. Even those who study finance need to use a lot of statistical data and make overall plans. The basis of this knowledge is probability theory and mathematical statistics. Basic computer languages, including C, TC, C++, VB, VC, java, etc. It may be inconvenient to work in the future, but it is impossible without a computer now. Many post-90 s people don't even know what DOS is, so computers can only be in a daze when they have problems. If they know these languages, sometimes they can make up some small programs to greatly improve their work efficiency.

For the mechanical industry, in addition to the above, in addition, engineering drawing, engineering mechanics and material foundation are all compulsory courses in the future.

I know your major very well, and I know what courses you will study in the next few years. The following courses will be met by you now or in the next few years.

So the landlord, if you decide to engage in the mechanical technology industry in the future, you must learn the following points:

Foreign language: If you learn English well, you can learn another one. Weihai is full of Japanese and Koreans. You can choose Japanese or Korean.

Probability theory and mathematical statistics of engineering mathematics: quality department, quality control, product analysis, research and development, and manufacturing are all needed.

Linear Algebra of Engineering Mathematics: Although a great deal of finite element analysis has been done by computers at present, there are other analysis applications based on line generation grid division.

Complex function of engineering mathematics: If you are engaged in the development and design of machinery industry, Fourier transform will often be used in the process of new product development, which is the basis of simulation analysis.

Theoretical mechanics: if you don't master the four strength theories, basically don't engage in mechanical industry.

Engineering drawing: How can you work if you can't even read the drawings? I am speechless about this.

Mechanics of materials: Similarly, materials are the foundation of machinery industry, and the basic parameters of conventional metals and plastics, including yield stress, modulus, stiffness, Shore hardness and so on, must be defined.

Experiment: Maybe the only thing you can really touch is the college physics experiment, and other experiments are just going through the motions. You should absolutely master the principles and application methods of the experiment and learn to design the experiment yourself.

In addition, according to your different development direction in the future, you should study hard: fluid mechanics, engineering thermodynamics, aerodynamics, structural mechanics, mechanical design foundation and other basic disciplines.

After four years in college, I have taken about 60 courses under normal circumstances. I took 62 courses that year. I don't know how many courses there are now. I heard that the education reform has changed the school beyond recognition. But what is helpful to our career is nothing more than the above 10 courses. If you don't plan to work in the mechanical industry, there will be no more than five courses that are useful to you.

I don't want to belittle the sales industry here. I have also explained it in other posts, but to be honest, if you want to engage in sales, you don't have to learn any of the above subjects. Illiteracy can be a salesman!

The above is about your personal learning direction of hard skills. Let's briefly talk about your soft skills:

Hard skills can only ensure that you are not unemployed, and soft skills can ensure that you can live a better life.

For the sales industry, they only need to learn soft skills; But for us, we must learn both hard and soft, otherwise we can't get along.

Soft skills include:

Self-study ability: University is actually the way and method to teach you how to learn new things. No one will teach you in the future society, and the mode of hands-on teaching basically does not exist in this cruel society. Learning can only depend on oneself, and the company also values a person's learning ability.

Adaptability: You can't change the environment, so it's no use complaining. If you can't change it, then adapt. And we should use the fastest speed and the gentlest way to adapt. Some people have to struggle all their lives to learn to integrate, which is a great failure.

Stubborn fighting spirit: I describe it this way because I don't want to talk about clear goals and life planning. You just need to remember that you have your own goals and stick to them. In the process of persistence, you will find that things like life goal planning do not need to be taught. The more you persist, then these things will be realized step by step in the process of your persistence. This process is painful and extremely painful, but we can't lose our fighting spirit, otherwise we won't laugh at the end.

Teamwork: More and more companies require employees to have team spirit, because in today's society, there is no heroism. Only by relying on a reasonable team can we give full play to everyone's greatest ability. In a team, how to communicate with people involves communication skills and other skills, which you need to learn slowly. Read more books on team management.

Time management: Time management and risk management are listed as one of the two difficult problems in project management, and they are also difficult to do anything. To arrange your time reasonably, life is short and time passes quickly. Some people are either in space or too busy. People accomplish nothing in space, and people who are too busy are always at a loss. Neither of these methods is ideal. I'll teach you a simple method. Make an appointment with anyone. Never be late, wait 15 minutes. If you persist for a few years, it will be very helpful for your future work.

Leadership: This is not to say that only management needs it. In fact, in any team, even in your class, even if some people are not officials, their words are that some people are willing to listen, that is, some people are willing to do what they say. This is leadership. Leadership is a way to subtly infect others and make others their own resources.

Control: It is not easy to do everything according to your own plans and steps, but strong control requires that all plans can be implemented step by step and all plans have backup plans. Remember, when we don't take risks and there is only one way, never do it. While learning control, you will find the importance of leadership.

Executive: We hate dreamers. We must carry out the plan. People who sing tomorrow songs all day have no future. Execution is not only for you to do it yourself, but also for others to do it with you.

I'm a little tired of writing, and there are too many soft skills to finish. Leadership, control and execution mentioned above are all three principles in project management, and they are also one of the principles of survival in the company. There are so many books about soft skills that you can read them yourself when you have time, which can broaden your horizons.

The above analysis of the hard skills and soft skills you need, hard skills should be learned by yourself in four years; And soft skills, is the school itself will never teach you, you have to learn from now on. Because inside the school, you can participate in the organization of student unions and societies. Don't be idle during holidays outside school. Internship in companies and factories. No money, no money. You don't consider economic factors when you study.

When you face graduation, if you have enough internship experience, you won't worry about not finding a job. Don't care too much about your academic performance. Because in the interview, when the other person meets you, the score is useless. In the interview process, your answer content can directly reflect your hard skill level, and the way you answer and your overall mental outlook and action details can reflect your soft skill level. I never look at my grades when I recruit people.

Finally, tell me what you are most concerned about and what career you want to pursue:

1。 If you are in the mechanical industry:

Be prepared for hardship. In the first few years, your income will not be very high, and your work will be very hard, which will lead many people to change careers within two or three years. This is the process of natural elimination. To reach a certain height, you must survive this period of time, and then your income will leap, provided that you really learn a lot and have enough experience.

2。 If you want to make life easier, go into sales.

Yes, I'm in the sales industry of BS, which has been mentioned in many posts, but when it comes to recommendation, if you just want to make a living, then do sales. Because no matter what the occupation of XXX is, sales is still the highest-paid industry in China. See my other posts for detailed analysis.

There are only two goals in life: ideal and reality.

You choose your goal now. It is true that three years is enough. I hope you really understand the meaning of this sentence.

The project is here, and I don't want to say more. Good luck!
