機械制造及自動化專業包括了三部分內容：機械設計、機械制造、機械自動化，行業內部分別稱為機設、機制、機電。
The major of machinery manufacturing and automation includes three parts: machinery design, machinery manufacturing and machinery automation, which are called machinery, mechanism and electromechanical respectively within the industry.
1、機械制造及自動化系于1972年由“機械制造教研室”和“金屬工藝學教研室”組建而成。經過40多年的建設和發展，機械制造及自動化系已發展成為一個涉及領域寬廣的高水平科研和教學基地。
1. The Department of mechanical manufacturing and automation was established in 1972 by the "teaching and Research Office of mechanical manufacturing" and the "teaching and Research Office of metal technology". After more than 40 years of construction and development, the Department of machinery manufacturing and automation has developed into a high-level scientific research and teaching base covering a wide range of fields.
2、機械行業是個老行業，人才需求一直是不冷不熱。制造業發展正面臨高級人才短缺的嚴峻挑戰，工業制成品的自主技術和科技創新能力明顯不足，且能耗、物耗高，浪費、污染嚴重，龐大的工程技術隊伍不能有效轉化為人力資源優勢，正成為制約制造業快速發展的主要因素。業內專 家介紹，制造業高級人才大致可以分成研發、設計、工藝、裝配四種。
2. The machinery industry is an old industry, and the demand for talents has always been neither hot nor cold. The development of the manufacturing industry is facing the severe challenge of the shortage of senior talents. The independent technology and scientific and technological innovation ability of industrial manufactured products are obviously insufficient, and the energy and material consumption are high, the waste and pollution are serious. The huge engineering and technical team can not be effectively transformed into human resource advantages, which is becoming the main factor for the rapid development of the manufacturing industry. According to industry experts, senior talents in the manufacturing industry can be roughly divided into four types: R & D, design, process and assembly.
