Today, electronic engineers and bar code technical talents, research and development engineers are equal. Faced with the shortage of talent pool in the job market, and will remain vacant for a period of time to wait for the right talent to apply.

“The engineer is a scientist; the engineer is an artist; the engineer is also a thinker.” A great engineer once made such a testimony.

Yes, engineers are people who use natural science to create engineering. Engineering is both material and intellectual. Many immortal projects, great inventions, and superb technical solutions, many people often only see their magnificence, and as an engineer, they should see the soul of design.

Therefore, we should deeply understand that "engineers are also artists and thinkers." Engineering design itself is an art, and it is also the crystallization of engineers' thinking. A sophisticated mechanical device, an efficient and robust program, a complex and impeccable circuit that reflects the thoughts and souls of some outstanding engineers, and sometimes you even think that their lives have been integrated into the design.

The most important factor in becoming an outstanding engineer is "love your career."

After all, interest is the best teacher, and many excellent electronic engineers are small as electronic enthusiasts. Hobbies must not only be reflected in the action but also deep into the heart and even deep into the bone marrow.

Many people ask: “How long should I spend each day studying and working?”

It is certain that a work will be exchanged for a harvest, but as engineers and scientists want to succeed, it is not the one who spends the most time, but who pays more "thinking."

Don't think that a student who reads a book in a self-study classroom for hours is “hardworking” or “lazy” than a student who stays in a dormitory. That is to say, "hard work" is the diligence of the brain, not the physical and formal diligence.

I have been studying electronics for almost 15 years and have found many problems. Once someone asked me how long you spend working each day. I replied to him: "I am thinking almost every day except eating and sleeping." It is not an exaggeration to say that many of my engineering ideas were born in a dream.

Inspiration can be born every morning when you wake up after brushing your teeth, when you go to work, when you are eating, or even when you are talking to others. (very agree, feel the same!) Of course, the premise of loving the profession of engineers is to be able to appreciate the beauty of engineering and natural science. A good engineer is also a person who loves science. From the common sense of science to the spirit of science, it will penetrate into his life.

Once I saw the order of the teachers in a teaching and research section to arrange the defense. Although the teacher wrote a lot of books in the field of electromechanical, there were many achievements in the so-called "theoretical field". From the simple order in which he arranged, He is not a very theoretical person. Because in my opinion his working method is extremely inefficient. In other words, there is no scientific spirit in his life.

An engineer and scientist are also engineers and scientists in life.

What we have to mention after this question is raised is to cultivate the quality of our thinking. Including the habits of thinking, depth and breadth, as well as the choice of thinking and thinking materials.

Being an engineer does have a lot of quality that is inherent and decisive. The training of the school and its own efforts are just some supplementary measures.

A person once asked me a question about emotional load. In fact, I am very aware that he does not understand the most basic physical concept. The first understanding of inductance is not explained by language and mathematical formula. So the foundation of physics and mathematics is very demanding for engineers. The physics and mathematics mentioned here refer to a basic understanding rather than a surface text and formula.

I can infer that this person is not suitable for engineers. In fact, the questions he raised are really in life, look up at the start of the fluorescent light, or when you see the discharge of the power plug. But every moment that is shown as being justified is wrong. That way, when Newton saw the apple landing, he would feel the same.

Everyone's thinking is different from the point of attention. Many people will pay attention to the natural science from an early age. Many of these children are future engineers.

For example, a 10-year-old elementary school student sees a building. He will immediately consider how the building was built. The tower crane is connected in a section, so how the glass of the high building exterior wall is installed.

Another child will think that the engineer is so great, and he will think of some verses to express his inner feelings.

Obviously one of the two children may be more suitable as an engineer and another suitable as a writer.

So people often say that everyone has their own strengths and advantages. Some people's strengths and ways of thinking can't be played in the engineer's profession, but the dogma of Chinese education can't make everyone do their favorite profession.

One of my college classmates is a literature enthusiast. I have a lot of opinions on Chinese history and society. I can read a lot of writing, but I can learn English. Isn't this a waste of talent?

So engineers and scientists are engineers and scientists in their lives, not when they work and when they pick up books.

Many students study hard and can't get started. This is the reason. When you pick up a book and find a problem or the teacher asks a question, they will work hard to solve it. If you put down the book, you will not ask questions and think independently.

I never think that Chinese education is a true "education". Books, papers, scores, and so-called answers are dogmatic. It is like a production line that puts a mark on each student who passes through it. By ignoring creativity and personal strengths, coupled with the long-standing deviations in the education leap and talent assessment standards, countless geniuses have lost opportunities for development.

There are not so many educational resources, but there is no need to expand the recruitment - literacy. Taking university education as an awkward place, the employment of fresh graduates is the best example.

So please don't complain about the lack of job opportunities. China is very lacking in engineers! It is lacking to let many companies start to "scream". The lack of engineers is in contradiction with the surplus of graduates of science and engineering. So don't think that you can become a good engineer with high academic performance. It is necessary to clearly understand the distance between the school's education and social needs.

Engineers must have "own ideas", and many students develop some very bad habits in the process of reading.

For example, the depth of thinking is not enough, and will not think independently. A formula can be used in front of the problem, can you test it?

Natural science is like a garden, and some scientific masters have written countless "immortal articles" to describe it. The mathematical formula is like the words and sentences in the article. Is it just a matter of doing word games or simple reciting? Please ask yourself how much you know about this "big garden". Can you imagine the sight of this garden when you close your eyes?

I remember that I asked a student who graduated from a senior design to study your physics. He replied that I was "okay", but added that "the formula is forgotten." At work, he saw that I could write a lot of equations in my essay, and I was surprised to say that my memory is really good.

I said, "I didn't pass the formula at all." Because I remember what the "garden" is like, even if I can't remember the "garden" that everyone uses to describe the words, I can still clearly describe it.

This is theory. Theory does not refer to "words" and formulas but to the ideas of predecessors.

Many students who study electronics say that analog technology is difficult to learn. I told them that in fact, learning analog technology is not about learning analog electronics itself. The world is originally simulated, all physical quantities are simulated, and this is the simulation. Therefore, your most fundamental view of the natural sciences and the world view directly determine the level of simulation, that is, the level of physics.

My opinion is: Do not think that you can have a fundamental change in learning with a computerized electronic book. You must improve your understanding of things and understanding of the natural sciences, and improve your ability to control analogs. What matters is the way of thinking, and the perception of the concept.

Thinking about problems requires depth, and the depth of thinking is a habit.

Some people always like to point to it, he doesn't even realize that I can think deeply. As an engineer and scientist, you should cultivate deep thinking habits.

Some students see a physics problem and think that they are better at doing the right thing. But have you discovered the inner links and even inspired from the test sites. There are many high school students who like to do a lot of exercises, but the results are not satisfactory. It’s because these students are just “doing questions” and don’t have to think more.

So engineers should pay attention to conceptual thinking and then go deeper. Knowing it, you must know why.

Engineers should pay attention to practice, and the natural sciences cannot be separated from experiments when they are developed. Electronics itself is meant to guide engineering practice. So don't talk about empty theory.

Many institutions now face such problems, always talking about some empty theories, even the wrong but not at all. Practice can improve the understanding of the natural sciences and even change our world view. Only when this kind of understanding is improved can we not "play the theory", but we must pay attention to the theory. Theory is thought, it is understanding, not formula and text.

On the other hand, we must pay attention to theory. Because you are an electronics engineer, not an electronics enthusiast.

The line is the line, not the line is not, this is the most basic quality of the engineer.

An engineer in the company took me a piece of the ultrasonic front-end board and said that the board was OK. But when I asked him if he was screaming, for example, he answered me "almost". I understand that it is almost bad, let him take it back when it is not bad and then hand it over to me.

Therefore, engineers should use the indicators to speak, and to speak with practice, it is almost not the words that should appear in the engineer's mouth.

Engineers also pay attention to accumulation, a good programmer and circuit designer is a good collector. Not only the collection of your own wisdom, but also the wisdom of others.

There are countless masters and geniuses in the field of IT technology to precipitate their wisdom in modern technology. Therefore, we must constantly accumulate good practices and ideas of predecessors. There are many things around you that are worth learning. You should accumulate these as wealth and will play a role one day.

In addition, we are not only learning simple knowledge, but also understanding of knowledge and engineering. For example, the resistance in each person's eyes is different, you have to take the initiative to understand what the resistance in the eyes of the master is.

Engineers should not put too much attention on development itself and not see "development."

This sounds a bit confusing, but it is very simple. It is to look at the entire development process at a certain height, rather than being caught in a specific problem. I don’t know the true face of the mountain, just because I am in this mountain. This is the truth.

Especially after encountering problems, it is easy to get rid of the phenomenon. As a result, everything is a mess. At this time, it is necessary to look at the problem from a higher angle and find a breakthrough, instead of drilling a horn.

Engineers should not easily ask others questions, and the process and results of solving problems are equally important. (It seems that what I said in the article "What should college students master?" is not a "heretical heresy": D) Some students will often ask questions to the teacher. This is also a good thing, indicating that a certain student loves to learn. But we don't advocate these. On the contrary, it is best if we can solve the problem ourselves.

Learn to hunt for information and knowledge independently and get your own judgment.

Everyone will encounter many problems in their work. When they are in school, there are teachers to answer. Who can answer in the workplace? Or who can you ask when you are doing the most cutting-edge technology?

So engineers have the ability to handle problems independently. Don't be a lazy person.

Chinese education often requires students to score high scores, and the answer is good students. So the answer told by the teacher is OK as long as it is remembered. Can the teacher tell you the answer can explain that you have the ability to understand the problem? Please do not believe such a score, until the engineer has the spirit of "Sword".

In the words of Duliang, the ancient swordsman knew that the other party was the first swordsman in the world, knowing that it was death and also showing the sword. If you don't have this ability, don't be a swordsman. "Although the enemy is strong and weak, we must brighten the sword despite being trapped." Engineers must also dare to challenge their opponents and dare to overcome themselves. If a project doesn't even dare to do it, can you talk about success?

Work is a habit, a kind of confidence that comes from oneself.

Strategically despise the "enemy" and tactically attach importance to the "enemy."

Engineers must control your project from the whole to the details.

It is a must to make mistakes when people do things. Engineers must minimize such mistakes. Therefore, a comprehensive theory and understanding of engineering objects is a must.

Some engineers who come from electronics enthusiasts are more likely to ignore the theory and think that it is enough to make things. Of course, we must make things, but we must finally master cutting-edge technology and promote the development of China's science and technology. It is impossible to take "others" drawings of other people like electronic enthusiasts.

IT technology is developing rapidly and the development of theory is also very rapid. We must accept new ideas and new technologies like tides. Engineers must be backed by comprehensive and solid theories.

We learn about information technology just like building a building. We can quickly master popular development tools and techniques – we can build a relatively tall building, but without a solid theory as a foundation, it is impossible to build a skyscraper.

Moreover, the theoretical system must be complete, and IT technology itself is produced by multiple disciplines. He has already involved too many things. So how to master more comprehensive knowledge in this industry is very necessary.

It is often easy to ignore software aspects of hardware. Now where is the software that leaves the software and the software that leaves the hardware? And an engineer must not only understand the knowledge of the profession, but also have extensive natural science knowledge, in order to become an outstanding engineering and technical personnel.

Developing your own learning methods is also a compulsory course for engineers.

In the era of knowledge explosion, it is impossible to become a good engineer by simply learning a little from the school. 90% of the knowledge must be learned by yourself.

Many students who have just graduated from school do not teach themselves. I took a book and looked at it for a while. If I couldn’t read it, I would look at it and I was still on the side. In fact, self-study is very particular about skills and methods. Of course everyone has their own set of good methods.

I usually divide knowledge into several categories:

Basic knowledge – including the number, material, chemical and professional foundations.
Popular technologies - such as embedded system development, are technologies that everyone is doing.
The technology that will be popular in the future, such as bio-DSP technology, is your prediction of the future.
The technology I want to use is what you need to use in your project.
Important advances in other disciplines – keeping pace with the development of technology is a must.

I usually allocate time evenly without ignoring any aspect of progress. This will ensure the continuous updating and expansion of the knowledge system. This is just a macroscopic distribution of energy. The specific learning process is of course determined by people, but it must be carried out strategically.

Engineers must do everything in a planned and step-by-step manner. Logic is not only reflected in the process, but also in the process of learning and life, that is, to do everything scientifically, to make plans according to your own situation. You can refer to the "brain thinking map" method. (It should refer to MindMap, see the introduction of the engineer in this book to be rigorous and realistic.

The Shenzhou spacecraft is made up of many complicated systems. If each component has a 99.9% success rate, I am afraid that even half of the safety will not be reached when the final return. Therefore, engineers must be rigorous and have sufficient attention from the whole to every detail. It is the truth that the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the ant nest. Engineers cannot accept words like "almost". .

Engineers must have individual heroic plots and be able to integrate into the team. How valuable is the outstanding personal ability and personality charm. We should not forget the huge and efficient R&D team behind them while admiring Gates and Jobs.

The hero who completes the hegemony with a slap in the face is no longer in this era. Therefore, team cooperation is the only way to create myth.

Engineers must have a development vision, not only to be able to navigate the complex technology and market, but also to make a precise outlook on the future development. Only farther than others think can go farther than the opponent.

Of course, this is inseparable from a solid foundation and diligent thinking. In today's IT world, it may be necessary to have more courage to do it. Constant attention to technology and market and other areas of development, when this concern is relaxed, when will be eliminated by competition.

To experience life in competition and problem solving, R&D and competition are the inevitable reality of every engineer. Everyone encounters new difficulties every day, but this is the life of an engineer. It is easy to live in these problems and appreciate the excitement of happiness and success.

Many engineers complain that doing research and development is too tired. The "tiredness" here is a psychological feeling. The profession of engineers is to constantly overcome difficulties and meet new challenges.

When I first started doing research and development, I also frowned all day, but now I have several large projects at the same time. At the same time, I have faced dozens of technical problems. I feel that I am very happy and fulfilled every day because I can do such things. If you have nothing to do, you will feel very uncomfortable. Always ask some questions to think about.

China's future requires too many engineers and scientists, and I am here to pay tribute to all engineers and scientists who are engaged in or interested in science and technology.

We work hard for the rejuvenation of the nation and for the rapid development of China's science and technology. Please come to everyone. I just talked to my young classmates and comrades about their own opinions. Please forgive me for being one-sided.

As an engineer, how to treat the problem that has been solved

The problem is certain. There is no problem in the project or everything goes well. Such people also have God.

So how do we solve the problem? Of course, we must first determine what the problem is, and then find a way to solve it. Almost everyone does it. Don't be confused by "the problem is solved." Don't be surprised, I mean what you should consider after the problem is solved. For example: a register in your program is set incorrectly, and finally found the cause of the program error, and changed it. Is it finished?

Any problem arises by chance but don't forget the inevitable. Ask yourself why there is such a problem, sloppy, the concept is not clear, or look at the data manual did not grasp the key? Then consider how to change the way you look at the data manual and learning, and then consider whether there is a flaw in the way of thinking. Don't think that solving a problem is a small matter. Even if each problem is solved, it is "a big article."

When you work side by side with a comrade, your program is always embarrassed by some problems, but he is very strong and develops quickly. So you ask him, when he tells you clearly, you find that the use of memory is a bit "small".

The problem, after the correction, your program is also as strong as a cow. In the end, do you think that he has compiled the same level of procedures? Please don't think so.

A little bit of gaps and problems in R&D are actually a big gap in R&D capabilities and technology levels! It may even be an insurmountable gap. In the course of engineering development, a small problem may make the entire development process embarrassing. So an efficient and smooth development is not appropriate, don't think it is very common.

Many engineering leaders can always see or predict a lot of problems that may be encountered, maybe they are trivial things, but it is a lot of small things that constitute a research and development barrier, and even cover up those big things. “Preparing for the rain” and “Raining in the rain” are two different research and development realms, and even if they all achieve the same purpose, they will not have the same effect.

Therefore, "there is no small matter in the project, there must be a reason for something." Be sure to find the reason.
