What specific courses are included in computer control technology?
Thread Content
RT I am a second-year junior college student majoring in Computer Control Technology, with a focus on numerical control. The main courses I need to study or am currently studying include: Computer Control Technology, Principles of Automatic Control (elective), Electrical Control and PLC Application Technology, Principles and Control Technology of Microcontrollers (with experimental boards and simulations available in the classroom), and On-site Speed Control Systems. The courses taken include: Power Electronics, Metalworking, Fundamentals of Mechanical Design, Engineering Drawing, and Electric Motor Drive. All of these courses I’ve taken include several practical computer-based sessions. I also took a course in CNC programming and passed the exam for the intermediate CNC engineer certificate. For my junior year, I am scheduled to spend a year at the Mechanical Research Institute taking specialized courses, as well as attempting to obtain a senior engineer certificate (I personally think its value isn’t very high). I would like to ask the experts on this forum: what are the core courses for my major? Which basic knowledge is most essential to master: programming? Mathematical ability? Engineering Mechanics? Electronic technology? If one wants to improve their technical skills, what technologies and courses should they learn on their own? What are the specific career paths?

Every course is important. I used to do programming as well, and I was involved in CNC work too. In fact, what really needs to be mastered are automatic control and PLC microcontrollers. One needs to have a programming mindset, and then use that mindset to find appropriate materials (material mechanics), followed by analysis (theoretical mechanics). In practice, it is represented using mechanical drawing; motors are rarely used for this purpose
Thank you, it’s very concise~~~:D It seems I need to catch up on my knowledge of metalworking and mechanics~
Don’t get stuck in programming; in my company, there’s one person who graduated from Xi’an Shiyou University with a degree in computer science but switched to working in chemical process instrumentation, as it’s difficult to find employment in the field of computing. It is essential to master the basic courses; advanced mathematics is important, and especially English – automatic control must also be studied. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll go to the factory to work on DCS maintenance; it’s relatively easy work with less risk.
Master everything thoroughly, secure a job at a design institute, develop the skill to act decisively without hesitation, and soon you will have a bright future ahead.
Can you do it? :Lol, I probably can’t do it. :L
Be sure to master the basic courses! Try to study the specialized courses; currently, the content of these courses in schools is far behind the pace of technological development. As long as a solid foundation is established, it’s still possible to learn the necessary specialized knowledge at work once needed
I think the courses you are studying now are very useful. \"Computer Control Technology\" represents the current direction of development in control principles and techniques; \"Principles of Automatic Control\" is a course related to classical control methods that is quite practical in real-world applications. \"Electrical Control and PLC Application Technology\" is essential knowledge for anyone who wants to work as an instrumentation or electrical engineer in the future. \"Principles of Microcontrollers and Control Technology\" is necessary knowledge for development work you might undertake in the future. \"Field Speed Control Systems\" is a crucial course for those studying electrical engineering. If you want to have success in your career down the road, it’s important to master these courses well. I hope this helps you
