Major introduction

Give buildings a smart brain – learn how to design electrical and control systems for intelligent buildings.

Program overview

Building Electrical and Intelligence, simply put, is to install a "nervous system" for buildings – from lighting, power supply to air conditioning, elevators, fire protection, security, and intelligent control – making buildings safer, more energy-efficient, and more comfortable. You will learn core courses such as circuit analysis, automatic control principles, building power supply and distribution, building automation systems, communication networks and integrated wiring. This major is suitable for students who like hands-on work, are interested in electronics and computers, and don't want to stay in the lab all the time. Chinese universities place great emphasis on practice in this field. Many schools have dedicated intelligent building laboratories and even cooperate with large real estate companies and design institutes, giving you the opportunity to work on real projects. For example, Tongji University, Harbin Institute of Technology, and Chongqing University have strong faculty and resources in this area.

Major prospects

现在的新建筑越来越强调“智慧”——绿色建筑、零能耗建筑、智慧城市都离不开这个专业。中国正在大规模推进城市更新和基础设施建设,对建筑电气与智能化人才的需求很稳定。而且随着物联网、人工智能的发展,智能家居、智慧园区、数据中心等新兴领域也急需懂建筑又懂电气的复合型人才。国际学生如果关注可持续发展或智慧城市方向,在中国可以接触到很多前沿项目,比如北京大兴机场、上海中心大厦的智能系统。未来回国或去其他国家,这些经验也很有竞争力。

Career prospects

毕业后可以去建筑设计院、工程公司、房地产开发企业、智能系统集成商、政府基建部门等。常见岗位有:建筑电气工程师(设计照明、配电系统)、智能楼宇系统设计师(做BA系统、安防系统)、BIM电气工程师(用BIM软件做三维设计)、项目现场经理(负责施工安装调试)。刚入行时薪资大概在6000-10000元/月(一线城市),有3-5年经验后可达15000-25000元/月。如果考取注册电气工程师证书,薪资会更高。国际学生如果中文流利,还可以考虑外企或跨国项目,比如西门子、霍尼韦尔在中国的分公司。
