1 Preface

I just finished my graduation defense two weeks ago , When I was writing my graduation thesis, I felt very sad ： Four years is fast , It's too soon to savor the life , In an instant, it has become a memory ; Speak slowly , Every big homework experience 、 The difficult choices at the crossroads are still vivid .

I am an ordinary student , I have experienced countless firsts since I entered the university campus . I can't be like those school bullies publicized by the school's official account , There was a very clear plan from the beginning of my freshman year , What to do at what time , My college life has always been one step at a time .

Graduation season coincides with the epidemic in Shanghai , Trapped in a corner and missed a lot . Take this opportunity to solicit papers for graduation season , Recall the past , Give yourself a sense of graduation ceremony . There is a very interesting place in the University , Just like Let you make choices that are not in line with your current level , For example, at the end of the college entrance examination, you are required to choose a college you do not know 、 When I first came into contact with general education basic courses, I was required to conduct professional diversion 、 When I first came into contact with the professional basic courses, I was required to choose to enter a higher school ( One's deceased father grind or protect grind ) Or work . This article talks about several choices I have encountered in the past four years .

2 Is it suitable to study sea tactics in College ？

This is actually a problem of the differences between the learning modes of middle schools and universities , It was also the first question I thought after I entered the University , Give me my personal answer first ： The sea test strategy is always suitable for subjects with strong exam orientation .

What does this sentence mean ？

First , Most information disciplines belong to engineering , For example, I come from traditional engineering automation major . Engineering is different from science , Pay more attention to the transformation from theory to application .

There are two types of courses at the undergraduate level —— Test oriented and application-oriented , The former includes advanced mathematics 、 General subjects such as linear algebra ; The latter includes computer vision 、 Robot control and other professional subjects . There are different standards for how to distinguish everyone , In my case , The easier it is to directly apply and produce visible results, the more it belongs to application-oriented subjects . for instance , Maybe you can control a robot directly after you finish the robot learning , Produce results , But higher mathematics has no such attribute .

It takes so much effort to distinguish between these two types of courses because their learning methods are different , For exam oriented , It is entirely possible to use the sea test tactics of middle school ; For the application type , It's really better to do a few experiments with sea warfare , Write a few pieces of code to understand deeply . For exam oriented subjects , I can brush half of it 、 The title of a Book , But for applied subjects , My main energy is spent on simulation , After learning a chapter, I will finish four or five questions .

3 Do you want to jump into various competitions ？

My answer is ： Don't

When I was a freshman , There are always various immortals participating in various competitions , Create a “ Take all the time to play , Brush experience , Get extra points ” The atmosphere of . For the great god , Maybe I have been exposed to information competitions since high school , It's normal to get started directly in college , But for an ordinary student like me, who has two black eyes , I am really anxious .

at that time , To keep up with everyone , Also participated in several competitions , stay C The language has not learned the array when it began to force the control code of the single-chip microcomputer , Pretending to stay up all night , Directly eliminated , And anxiety returns to .

This shows that the competition must not exceed your existing technology stack , Otherwise, it will be useless ( Unless there is a great God willing to fly you ). And freshman 、 Sophomore year is the stage of general learning , Any competition with high gold content in a professional field is far beyond the existing reserves , It is difficult to beat monsters beyond their ranks in reality ！

So I quit my sophomore year , It is enough to master the knowledge in the course . After oneortwo course designs , Will have a deeper understanding of development , It's never too late to play again , After professional compulsory training , I joined in the second semester of my junior year 3 Games with good results . The quality of the game or experience is more important than the quantity .

The following is a list of several undergraduate information disciplines with high gold content

4 How to view the relationship between higher education and employment ？

Open the job search website , Choose a desired position , See if you are qualified to graduate as an undergraduate or graduate student , You can roughly know whether you should choose to go to college or get a job .

For me personally , I really don't know what kind of job to look for when I graduate from automation ： I learned some software engineering theories in software , Set up several local applications ; In terms of algorithms, I learned some of the most basic algorithms of artificial intelligence ; Hardware single chip microcomputer 、FPGA I have also touched . But you have to pick one out , I'm really not sure that I will become an employee in this direction .

For example, the following requirements of the Planning Engineer , As a student of Control Engineering , In the undergraduate stage, I haven't touched the path planning algorithm at all .

5 Phased learning objectives

I sent it once before in Zhihu , This time C Station also make a summary

• A Advanced programming technology
  • Python Advanced ： It mainly involves generators 、 Decorator 、 Asynchronous programming, etc
  • C++ Advanced ： Mainly involves C++11 Learning new standards , Focus on strengthening object-oriented thinking
• B Technology stack expansion
  • Front end technology foundation ：HTML+CSS+JavaScript+Vue+ElementUI
  • Docker Principle and Application
  • SolidWorks Principle and Application
  • Computer network technology
• C Engineering development tools
  • CMake Tools
  • Git engineering management
  • Shell automation
  • Vim Editor
  • LaTex Typesetting
• D Machine learning theory
  • Fundamentals of machine learning
  • Pytorch Deep learning framework
• E Robot engineering
  • ROS Principle and application development
  • ROS Common libraries and simulation tools
• F Linux operating system
  • Linux Commonly used instructions
  • Linux Basic technology ： User management 、 file system
• G Fundamentals of mathematical analysis
  • Optimization theory
  • Numerical calculation method
  • matrix analysis

These scenarios vary according to your major , But there is only one core ： The study during the undergraduate course can not cover all the scenes of graduate students and even work , You will inevitably encounter knowledge that you have never experienced , And this knowledge may not give you the time to study systematically , For example, the supervisor gives you a warehouse address before leaving , say 「 Submit today's code here before work 」, But I don't know you used to take U Disk or QQ Group code management , Never used git.

therefore , When people make plans , It is not a blind selection for the sake of breadth , Prefer those that will be used by high probability in the future , But I haven't touched anything , For example, various development tools .

6 summary

Looking back four years , My college life has always been one step at a time . Just this article to commemorate my thoughts on my four-year undergraduate course , Maybe I will come back and have a new experience after a period of time . Meaningful things are never easy , come on. ！
