Every June is a time of separation. In this month, the annual high school entrance examination and college entrance examination are held successively. At the same time, college students will also enter the workplace one after another.

June will pass, and July will be on fire. In addition, after more than ten years of hard study, some students entered their dream colleges for further study, and some ended their exciting student careers and officially entered the workplace. Facing a turning point in life, we might as well look up to see the current situation and development prospects of the industry we are about to choose or enter.

The development speed of instrumentation science is unprecedented

Instrumentation is an important tool for humans to obtain information, understand nature, and transform nature. It is widely involved in various aspects related to national economy, scientific research and people's daily production. It is a comprehensive engineering field that provides detection, measurement, monitoring and control devices, equipment and technology, and provides important material and technical guarantees for human society. With the rapid development of laser technology, electronics technology, automation technology, precision machinery technology, computer and software technology, as well as the continuous emergence of new materials and new processes, it not only enriches and enriches the foundation of the field of instrumentation engineering, but also broadens and The research field of this discipline has been developed, making the instruments and meters develop in the direction of precision, automation, intelligence, integration, miniaturization and multi-function.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the People's Republic of China was in a period of waste and large-scale economic recovery and construction. In response to the large demand for instrumentation professionals from a group of large-scale backbone industrial enterprises and the national defense industry, in 1952 Tianjin University and Zhejiang University took the lead in preparing for the establishment of " Precision Mechanical Instrument Major” and “Optical Instrument Major”, and gradually formed a system.

In 1958, several well-known domestic universities, such as Tsinghua University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Southeast University, Hefei University of Technology, Beihang University, etc., all successively established precision instrument majors, and according to the Soviet model of running schools , Corresponding to each instrument category, there are more than 10 majors such as measuring instruments, optical instruments, timing instruments, analytical instruments, thermal instruments, aviation instruments, electronic measuring instruments, and scientific instruments. With their loyalty to the party's education cause and high patriotic enthusiasm, teachers and students worked hard to become strong, and under the conditions of human, material and financial resources are very difficult, batches of instrumentation professionals trained by our country have stepped out of the school and become the national economy. The backbone technical force in construction, national defense construction and scientific research has made remarkable achievements.

For more than ten years, seniors in the field of instrumentation in academia, science and technology, and education have made in-depth discussions, in-depth analysis and incisive descriptions of the role and status of instrumentation. Famous scientists Wang Daheng, Yang Jiaqi, Jin Guofan and other academicians highly summarized and pointed out that "instrumentation is an important part of the information industry and the source of the information industry", revealing the discipline nature and orientation of instrumentation, and pointing out the development of instrumentation discipline The direction has far-reaching guiding significance for the development of the discipline, and calls for it. The instrumentation discipline is thus correctly positioned, standardized and the development direction is clarified.

The development speed of instrumentation majors is unprecedented. In less than 10 years, its school scale has roughly quadrupled. Shows a good state of enrollment and distribution. The reason for the major development of this major is not only from the greater social demand, but also from the social recognition of the professional education. This major is based on the talent knowledge structure of optics, mechanics, electricity, and arithmetic, and cultivates broad-caliber talents with a solid foundation and a wide range of knowledge, which meets the needs of the talent market and the vigorous development of information technology.
