When applying for computer and electronic information majors, people often see the term “embedded training”, like in the image below:
So what does “embedded training” really mean? How does it differ from non-embedded majors? Is it worth applying for?
Today, Teacher Wu will analyze this in detail!
What is “embedded training”?
Embedded training is mostly in computer and electronic information majors because these fields are emerging, and many schools lack sufficient teaching resources. Additionally, the technology in these industries evolves rapidly, making it easy for university education to become disconnected from society.
Students often graduate only to find that the skills they learned are already outdated.
So how can this problem be solved?
By adopting an “embedded training” model, companies participate in the training of students, utilizing their talent and project resources, allowing students to learn the latest technologies needed for employment and gain practical project development experience.
It seems quite good; the school provides theory, the company teaches skills, and also offers projects for students to practice on.
But the reality is not so rosy!
If companies are going to teach students, they can’t do it for free, right? Who pays for it?
Of course, it’s the students. Therefore, we find that majors with embedded training have much higher tuition fees than those without.
Tuition fees for embedded training majors are generally around 10,000, with some costing 15,000 or 16,000. In contrast, non-embedded majors only cost about 5,000 or 6,000.
Moreover, what kind of companies come to help universities teach students?
Large internet companies and information technology firms generally don’t have the time; those participating in teaching are mostly “IT training companies”.
What they do is “charge you to learn programming”; the extra tuition essentially becomes a training fee for them.
As for the effectiveness of this training, and whether it helps with future employment?
Teacher Wu can only say: if you study hard, it will help improve your skills, but whether it guarantees a good job or high salary is uncertain.
However, since there is professional technical teaching and project practice, it will definitely be somewhat beneficial.
But if you don’t study diligently and just waste your time and money, then it will be completely in vain!
Conclusion:
The tuition is significantly higher than ordinary majors, and in addition to learning what the school teaches, there will be external training institutions coming in to teach you some practical skills and do small projects for practice.
As for whether you can learn something, it completely depends on your own learning ability.
As for whether it is worth applying for, such majors usually have lower admission scores, but they are all popular majors. Students with lower scores who still want to study popular majors might consider it.
