Power has become a human life, the production of a lack of material resources are not available, widely used in many fields, the electrical engineering and automation professional employment rate. Electrical engineering and electrical engineering automation belongs to is a combination of the strength of electrical, mechanical and electrical integration, hardware and software, practice-oriented, comprehensive and strong discipline, we can say that all related electrical professional courses which can be covered .

Due to the wide range of professionals involved, so the different universities in the curriculum will have their own priorities. As the field of Sichuan University, focused on generation and transmission, "power plant electrical part", "power plant substation integrated automation", "Electricity Market Operation System" is essential to the course, and Southwest Jiaotong University focused on rail transport, set course for railway electricity, such as "Traction Power Supply System Analysis," "change the traction power supply technology", "electrified railway catenary", etc., there are some schools focus on building market areas, namely, electrical construction, there are different courses.

Electrical Engineering and Automation of the discipline focus on practical ability, most of the professional courses have opened simultaneously experimental curriculum, knowledge should be reflected on the books in practice, usually every summer will have internship arrangements. Compared with the more difficult courses, it is worth mentioning that almost all manufacturing enterprises need electrical engineering and automation professionals, which is in the earth electromechanical (civil, mechanical, electrical) three majors in engineering, electrical engineering advantage. Since each university focused in different directions, so the students' employment orientation may be different, such as the power sector bias, bias, Southwest Jiaotong University, Sichuan University in the railway sector.

If you intend to continue their studies at the graduate level, in electrical engineering and automation disciplines subdivided into two disciplines: power systems and automation, power electronics and power transmission, high-voltage, motor and other electrical appliances. In the two disciplines, strong and weak electrical clearer division of professional research directions are also quite different. The employment situation is relatively good, generally based on scientific research or design unit.
