The rookie SCM has four years of college and seven years of work, dedicated to the confused juniors and younger students of the Internet of Things, absolutely dry goods

Teaching people to fish is not as good as teaching people to fish. The purpose is not to teach you specific project development, but to learn the ability to learn. I hope you can share it with friends or classmates in need around you, maybe the road of great god growth has Boge's cornerstone. . .

Learn and grow QQ group together 622368884, don’t like it, there are a large group of like-minded pathfinders

1 Introduction

Currently, the people who join the Boge QQ exchange group can be divided into several categories:

• Ready to graduate college 电子major, 物联网professional毕业生
• Just entered college 电子major, 物联网professional新生
• Work for many years 电子爱好者as a hobby
• Directly find the group leader to develop the project商务人士
• Some 创客, school老师

Among them, I am most concerned about my juniors and juniors in related majors (although they are not in the same school).
What impresses me more is:

Most 电子of the 物联网students in majors and majors feel that after four years of university, they are confused in writing resumes, confused in finding a job, and confused in career direction.

As for why I am confused?
Nothing more 没有目标, 没有规划?

Of course, each of us has different goals and plans, so we cannot generalize.

But what we emphasize more is:

• 有目标
• 有规划
• 不迷茫

Again:

The following content is only based on personal experience to tell the facts, does not mean that they are all right, for reference only

2. Important choices

Next, let's briefly analyze the things that may be encountered in the following four years of university.

Normally, we will definitely encounter many choices in turn.

A thought must be established:

After the college entrance examination is liberated, the university needs to be taken seriously

2.1 Student clubs

Freshmen will face them as soon as they come in 军训. After the military training, they will see the seniors and sisters conduct a series of 社团招新propaganda.

Boge suggested that you can enter 2-3a club, choose a professional club and a personal hobby club. Normally, you must apply to the school 电子设计协会(after all, many seniors in this major are in it, so 交流技术it is more convenient to get up. You can also join the seniors and sisters. Team up to 参加比赛gain experience, so-called 躺赢阶段, also called mixed game experience).

For students who want to earn some living expenses, you can go to a 勤工俭学club, which usually has various 兼职jobs (family education, handing out flyers, etc.).

My personal suggestion is 家教(after all, engineering students still have advantages in mathematics, physics and chemistry) may be slightly better, which is considered 活少钱多a part-time job.
But be sure to look carefully and don't be fooled by the employer.

2.2 Choice of professional direction

Of course, there are still many classmates who may 报考志愿be 糊里糊涂. After they come in, they find that they are not the majors they like, so you have to consider the possible needs at this time 转专业(Of course, there are still a few students in the Boge class who transfer to other majors, and they also learn other majors in advance. Professional basic knowledge).

For 转专业students who need it , you must go by yourself to 和其他专业同学进行提前沟通understand the characteristics of other people's majors, and then check the process of transferring majors or exams.

For continuing 往本专业发展students, 极度建议找到专业方向发展的师兄师姐指点一下江山or instructors who are experienced in participating in competitions in their major, it is best to follow them to learn, and the effect will be better.

For 不往本专业发展但是又没考虑转专业the students, confirm your career direction as soon as possible, and strive to not fail in professional courses, and spend more energy in the fields you like. For example, many of Boge's classmates are going to be teachers, and they will take the Putonghua certificate, teacher qualification certificate and so on.

2.3 Participate in the competition

For students of electronics and Internet of Things, participating in competitions is essential (Boge also recommends to participate in various competitions as much as possible, which 奖学金may 保研have some effect).

One can enrich the knowledge system (generally participating in the competition will definitely involve 不同技术领域knowledge, this time you need to divide the work)

Second, after the graduation resume can have competition award experience, project experience.

So what 准备工作should I do to participate in the competition ? What Boge suggested is to find like-minded classmates together 组队, normally 3-5 people.
So what are the requirements of these 3-5 people?

• Yes 足够稳定, that is, when you participate in the competition, it is basically you, after all 合作默契. .
• There must be an important division of labor, such as someone in charge 文档编写(maybe girls will be better), someone in charge 硬件部分（基本电路、PCB）, someone in charge 软件部分(may involve microcontrollers, cloud platforms, apps, etc.), and someone in charge 演讲(the last presentation stage is also very important, PPT)
  
• It is not recommended to make different works all the time, you can go to the same work continuously to 升级优化reach the 商用level

Here can consider the scope of the competition:

• National Electronic Design Competition
• Freescale
• Challenge Cup
• IoT design competition, especially some high-quality ones held by BAT
• Campus Electronic Design Competition
• xxx electronic design contest

Pay more attention to the competitions that various platforms may hold at any time. Such as Atmel, TI, OneNet and other platforms

Basically, you can participate when you have time, and the conflict of the game is based 权重on the decision. Of course, you can 躺赢(named) or

2.4 Scholarship

General university scholarships will be divided into several categories:

• 贫困奖学金
  This type of scholarship is mainly to help some outstanding students from poor families who need poverty certification

• 国家奖学金
  The amount of this scholarship is relatively high, and the difficulty of evaluation is relatively high. First, the requirements of professional learning for Grade Point Average high (at least 3.6above), while 社会实践, 体育竞赛, 科技竞赛ways to accomplish something (so-called accomplish something, say white is the award-winning experience, which is why Boge said the reason must go to take part in the competition)

• 学校奖学金
  Generally, this category is established by the school to reward outstanding students. If you have the ability, try it. The selection conditions are similar to those of the national scholarship.

2.5 Research projects, undergraduate entrepreneurship

In a word, it means doing it as a competition event.

Don't think too much, just do it.

• 科研立项Divided into 校级and 院级, as far as possible to select the colonel level, and then there are about a few thousand dollars 研究经费, basically enough to buy various basic components and development boards. In the future, scientific research projects can be upgraded to other projects to participate in other competitions.

2.6 Class leaders

I mean, try to work as a cadre for the first term, 学生经历you can write and write, and then you can select 优秀班干部(this has a bonus)

2.7 Helping teachers with projects

Different people have different opinions. Generally speaking, there will be some welfare subsidies for teachers to do projects, such as a few hundred dollars for living expenses, and some more advanced development boards for learning 丰富简历内容. But I think the more important point is:

Have a good relationship with teachers, so don't worry about exams. 挂科
At the same time, in general, many teachers will know teachers from other schools, and they 保研will also have a certain recommendation for future visits .

2.8 Love

Boge strongly recommends that college fall in love.

As for the reason? Let the future tell you that university may be your pinnacle.

Of course, it’s still a good idea to fall in love 专一. If you want to learn to fall in love like a development board, don’t be a scumbag.

2.9 Work Or for postgraduate entrance examination?

So far, undergraduates don't have much advantage, and there are many graduate students on the street. . . .

Boge can't comment on whether it is a good job or a good postgraduate entrance examination? But if I choose one time, I may continue to go to the postgraduate entrance examination, after all, the advantages of graduate students are still quite large.

However, if you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, it is recommended to pay attention to some knowledge of the postgraduate entrance examination from the third year, and it is best to prepare in advance.

If you want to work, then writing a resume is definitely essential. My suggestion is to get a copy 简历模板(for example, go to 500 Ding and spend a few dollars to buy a good-looking template), and then give a first draft based on your various experiences, and then send it to some working seniors or senior sisters. Let them help see and give certain suggestions.

2.10 Part-time

For this, I still suggest to do it when you have time. First, you can gradually integrate into the society, and second, you can subsidize your living expenses.

2.11 Winter and summer vacation arrangements

For the students who are developing in the technology industry, basically the winter and summer vacations are in 实验室learning technology (learning the knowledge system of the upper grades in advance) or 参加各种比赛(the Boge winter and summer vacations are basically spent in the school laboratory).

Students who do not develop in the technology industry can use this time to go 实习or other 社会实践opportunities.

3. My four-year university

Next, Boge will talk about his four-year university experience and his gains after seven years of work, hoping to give you some reference.

First of all, let me explain that Boge’s major is

电子信息工程

A major that needs to be learned about any technology (to put it bluntly, it is a miscellaneous, so you need to choose).

3.1 Freshman

In the freshman year, it is mainly to learn the basics.
I'm still lucky at this time.

• I met a good brother who taught me MCU and hardware knowledge, and also gave me a lot of competition guidance
• Meet a good teacher and instill in us the direction of career development in advance

Shi this stage of my main 学习C语言, 电子电路, 模拟电路,数字电路

During the summer vacation from freshman to sophomore, I learned 51 single-chip microcomputer in school in advance. That time passed very fast. After all, I didn't understand many things when I just started. I bought a 199 51 single-chip development board, ran through the case from beginning to end, and then made a perpetual calendar at the end. Of course, because of this hard process, it is easy to learn other microcontrollers later.

For freshmen, my advice is:

• 找到一个愿意带你的本专业师兄, Can avoid many detours
• 抱着师兄的大腿去参加比赛，获取经验

3.2 Sophomore

During the sophomore year, the more important courses are 数据结构与算法. This really takes some time to learn.
Meanwhile, after learning of the microcontroller 51, I and other classmates 组队to participate in a variety of electronic design contest, are starting to learn other STC, MSP430, PIC microcontroller and so on, but also to 图书馆borrow a lot of books to learn.

Basically, most of the time is spent in the laboratory. (It is also recommended that interested students can occupy a position in the laboratory to facilitate team research)

During this time, my suggestions are:

• 尽量多去学习网络知识，特别TCP IP协议，个人觉得是很多物联网学生欠缺的关键知识，必须花时间去重点学习
• 正常来说图书馆都有不少书籍了，去百度一下经典书籍排行榜，找前面几本去看

Boge did not do this at the time, after all, he did not have much experience.

3.3 Junior

In fact, what the juniors do is similar to that of the sophomores. They are all participating in various competitions. Of course, they have been for a year 学习委员.

With this one, I won the award for outstanding class leaders. It seems that there is a scholarship of 1,000 yuan, and I also won the second prize of an Altmel national competition this year.

During this time, my suggestions are:

• 确认一下职业方向，是考研还是工作？是硬件还是软件？
• 软件方向目前市面上包括了很多前端开发工程师、app开发工程师、Java后端开发工程师等等
• 硬件方向更可能偏向于单片机或者嵌入式方向

At that time, Bo Ge still wanted to develop in the direction of MCU.

3.4 Senior

Because I did not consider the postgraduate entrance examination, I mainly wanted to work early to reduce the burden on my family, so I also started to join the job hunting army, basically participating in various school recruitment (remember to prepare your resume and formal dress).

Work is also divided into three categories:

• 国企类单位
  This category is mainly a variety of state-owned enterprises, including major banks, major operators, major xxx
• 技术类单位
  More small technology companies (mainly the electronics major of China Normal University feels a bit weird)
• 公务员
  There is nothing to say about this, basically it is to review the content of the civil service examination

I took two offers at the end:

• Hardware engineer, mainly in the direction of MCU, the salary is about 5K
• Software engineer, mainly doing mobile phone software development, salary is about 6.6K

Finally, I chose a software engineer (considering that undergraduates do not have much advantage in hardware, many students develop in the direction of arm embedded), and finally came to Guangzhou Samsung (that is, the popular Samsung mobile phone research and development base at the time)

4. My seven years of work

After working for seven years, let's distinguish directly by company.
Boge has mainly experienced three companies. Many people say that making rockets during interviews and twisting screws at work still feels a bit interesting.

• 广州三星Work
  experience for two years : the company’s benefits are okay, overtime pay is available, there is a shuttle bus to and from work.
  Reasons for leaving: foreign companies, can’t learn core technology, more debugging work, a bit of a waste of golden years, it is not recommended to graduate into the
  technology stack: android application Development

• 广州玄武Two years of work
  experience: Since I didn’t have much technical accumulation in the last company, I was lucky to meet a very good technical leader in this company, who taught me a lot of technical knowledge, and a lot of Android knowledge was passed on by this big guy. Mine, and then I bought a lot of books to study. Later, I also became the android team leader.
  Reason for resignation: I feel that the salary has not gone up, and it's over.
  Technology stack: android application development, just stay at the android application layer development

• 唯品会Worked for more than two years.
  Experience: During the development of android app, applet, java back-end, so I have a certain breadth of knowledge, but more and more I find that I am a full-stack engineer, so I need to think about the development path by myself.
  Technology stack: android, applet, java

Of course, no matter when and where 不要放弃学习. So for a long time, I have the habit of reading and learning constantly, and then slowly try to write a blog, and write some knowledge in words, so Boge went to study the esp8266 arduino series.

Highly recommended:

适当去写写博客，积累知识
多去看看书籍

5. Summary

One sentence summary:

Life needs planning and thinking, so you can avoid many detours

The above is Boge's own life experience, and I hope to bring some suggestions for the confused e-things. Of course, you can leave a message if you have any questions.
