The adjustment of major in Colleges and universities is often closely related to the change of social demand for talents. What are the characteristics of new major in Colleges and universities this year? At the same time, which majors have been eliminated? Let's take a look.
The number of colleges and universities approved for this major has increased nearly eight times
Among the newly added undergraduate programs, data science and big data technology are the most popular. According to statistics, a total of 250 universities have newly added the major of 'data science and big data technology', including 19 universities directly under the Ministry of education, such as Renmin University of China, Beijing Normal University and Xiamen University. 21 colleges and universities in Henan Province have added this major, which is the largest province. Hebei, Shandong, Anhui, Guangdong, Jiangsu and other provinces also have many universities successfully approved.
In February 2016, the Ministry of Education announced the addition of "data science and big data technology" major, and Peking University, University of foreign economic relations and trade and Central South University became the first batch of approved universities. The following year, another 32 universities were approved. This time, 248 colleges and universities were approved to major in 'data science and big data technology', almost eight times as many as those approved in the previous two times.
This major is favored by colleges and universities, which is related to the national support for the development of big data industry and the shortage of talents in this industry.
In August 2015, the State Council issued the notice on printing and distributing the action plan for promoting the development of big data, explicitly Encouraging Universities to set up data science and data engineering related majors, focusing on training professional data engineers and other big data professionals.
60 colleges and universities have been approved for "robot engineering", and this province has become the biggest winner
According to the above results of 2017 undergraduate major filing and approval by the Ministry of education, 60 universities have been approved for the major of "robotics Engineering". Among them, there are 10 colleges and universities in Jiangsu Province applying for the establishment of this major (including those affiliated to the Ministry of Soviet Union).
According to the reporter, in 2017, the Ministry of Education announced the results of 2016 undergraduate professional filing and approval, and the number of universities approved for the major of "robotics Engineering" increased to 24, reaching 60 this year.
Behind the craze of "robot engineering" is the sustainable development of artificial intelligence industry.
On March 6, the official website of Nanjing University officially released news. After research and decision, Nanjing University officially established the Institute of artificial intelligence. In this year's report on the work of the government, intelligence has been mentioned four times, and it is particularly pointed out that it is necessary to strengthen the R & D and application of the new generation of artificial intelligence and develop the intelligent industry.
According to the economic observer on March 6, there is a strong demand for talents in the artificial intelligence industry, and those with experience can enter 8000 a month. On March 2, the Information Times reported that some enterprises offered 25000 yuan a month for robot engineers.
"Small languages" and "Cyberspace Security" are concerned
According to the above results of 2017 undergraduate major filing and examination and approval by the Ministry of education, Beijing Foreign Studies University has 14 newly added examination and approval majors, all of which are small language majors not available before. It includes Fijian, Cook Islands Maori, Luxemburg, Sango, etc.
This continues a trend of new majors in the past two years - last year, Beijing Foreign Studies University added 11 minor language majors, all of which are new majors. In addition, Tianjin Foreign Studies University, Beijing Second Foreign Studies University and Guangdong University of foreign studies have respectively added 13, 8 and 6 new minor language majors. In March 2017, yangzhou.com reported that there were 101 new undergraduate majors in 35 universities in Jiangsu Province, of which 50% were small languages.
Some experts believe that there are two backgrounds for the popularity of small languages. One is that China's opening up to the outside world is mainly oriented to Europe and the United States, which is relatively narrow and cannot meet the actual needs at present. The other is that in recent years, the belt and road cooperation has been further promoted, and the cultivation of small language talents is also based on the actual needs of economic and cultural exchanges of countries along the same line.
