It's another year's college entrance examination season. It's also a good choice to choose a major in prosthetic orthopedic engineering.
The college entrance examination is over, and senior high school students can finally put aside their burdens and play happily. The important college period in life is about to begin in a few months. So senior high school students, have you thought about what kind of college to go to and what major to study?
Today, the editor will popularize the prosthetic and orthopedic engineering major to everyone. This major is a very unpopular major, but it is also a major with particularly good employment prospects.
According to the main data bulletin released by the Second National Sample Survey of Disabled Persons, the total number of disabled people in the country has reached 82.96 million, of which physical disabilities account for 29.07%. About 700,000 people have the need to install prostheses or orthotics. However, according to the current situation in our country, more than 70% of them have not been installed. At present, my country has a shortage of technicians specializing in prosthetic and orthopedic assembly. There is a large gap in the workforce, with less than 1,000 professional and technical personnel. Moreover, most front-line technicians are trained as masters and apprentices, and have not received professional systematic learning.
In recent years, our country has increased the training of professionals in prosthetics and orthopedics, and has successively trained a group of technical personnel at the technician, technical secondary school, and junior college levels. With the advancement of economy and technology, and the development of welfare and security for the disabled, technicians and technicians at the college and technical secondary school level have narrow professional fields and poor foundations. Shortcomings have been exposed, and they can no longer meet the higher-level needs of society in actual work. In the field of research, development and services for physically disabled people, there is a very shortage of high-level talents.
The prosthetic and orthopedic engineering major is a four-year undergraduate major that teaches engineering degrees. This major is an emerging composite and cross-disciplinary major in the field of health sciences, involving various disciplines such as rehabilitation medicine, biomedical engineering, mechanics, polymer chemistry, materials science, humanities and social sciences, etc. Many famous universities in some developed countries such as Europe and the United States offer orthopedic engineering professional education from undergraduate to doctoral degrees, but it is an emerging major in our country.
Professional training goals:
To cultivate senior application talents who have the basic theories of rehabilitation medicine, electromechanical technology and material science, design and production of prosthetics and orthotics, and the basic ability to combine rehabilitation medicine with engineering technology, and who can engage in research, design and technical services in the fields of clinical rehabilitation and prosthetics and orthopedics engineering. The main employment destinations of students are research institutions, hospitals, companies related to prosthetics, orthotics and rehabilitation equipment, and relevant government management departments.
Main courses:
Advanced mathematics, general physics, theoretical mechanics, materials mechanics, circuit analysis, basic electronic technology, sports biomechanics, mechanical principles, metal technology, C language, normal human body morphology, orthopedic clinical science, orthopedic surgery, orthopedic materials science, prosthetics, orthotics, rehabilitation engineering, rehabilitation psychology, etc.
What are the career directions for prosthetics and orthopedics engineering majors?
Graduates are suitable for engaging in scientific research, teaching, medical technology development and technology management related to prosthetics and orthotics in the fields of rehabilitation engineering, biomedical engineering and other fields at home and abroad.
1. Go to rehabilitation centers in major domestic medical institutions, or rehabilitation medical centers at all levels, to assist each institution in establishing an integrated prosthetic and orthopedic engineering system to improve the overall rehabilitation medical level and efficiency of the hospital.
2. Enter prosthetic assembly centers and prosthetic parts manufacturing plants to research and develop prosthetic and orthopedic engineering products that are needed by society.
3. Use your rich professional knowledge background to enter a government medical insurance unit to engage in technical management of prosthetic and orthotic medical insurance, or engage in workshop management in assembly centers and prosthetic parts manufacturing plants.
4. Continue to study in relevant research institutes of prosthetic and orthopedic engineering at home and abroad, enter the academic field, and engage in academic research in prosthetic and orthopedic engineering. Picture source network
