The boss asked me to find a few people to work for him. There is a person with mental illness, but I don’t know him.

First of all, let me state that this is a special post, but I think it should be very helpful to you, so take a look:

I am an electronic engineer, and I will post what I originally wrote about electronic engineers. A post about how to grow is reposted here.

In fact, the laws of technology are similar. Although it is the growth path of electronic engineers, I think it is the same for technicians in other fields.

Because it took me a long and painful time to complete the transition from a beginner to a system engineer, so I will write down my experience in the hope that it can be of some help. effect.

As a college student who has just left school, if there is an expert to guide me, it actually only takes about 6 months to a year to achieve this transformation.

As long as you are diligent enough, good at communication and have good character.

Everyone can understand the first two; a good character means that everyone likes this person, is willing to help him, is willing to tell him anything, and never gets tired of getting along with him.

If you have a bad temper and are selfish, who will care about you? You know, selfish people also want to be with people of good character.

An electronic engineer, or in other words, an electronic system design engineer, needs to have an opportunity. This kind of opportunity must be fought for by oneself. "Crying and shouting for progress." With this spirit, you also need to understand Just bring it with you.

But when you go to work, who will take care of you? Very little or none. The competition in the market is fierce. In the past, it was said: "Church disciples starve to death." This phenomenon may be more serious in state-owned enterprises. In private enterprises, you need to create benefits for the boss. As for learning, you learn on the job. The boss will not let you not Those who learn by working can only learn by doing.

I divide the growth path of technical personnel into several stages:

1. Entry 1~2 years

2. Entered the house for 3 years

3. Diligence leads to excellence

4. Communication and collaboration

5. It takes 5 years to have a deep understanding of an industry and make products

The first step is getting started - 51 core and basic circuits

There are 1 billion people in China. How many college students graduate every year? I have no idea. But I saw a photo. The job fair was bustling with people coming and going, which was very shocking. There has never been a moment when I felt that China's human resources are so rich. But what do students graduating from today’s universities learn? Some theories are decoupled from reality. Is it useful? It's somewhat useful. However, in an enterprise, what is needed is to actually do something and actually solve the problem. Therefore, many companies do not want college students with undergraduate degrees who have no hands-on ability and do not know what resistors and capacitors look like and what they can do. But he thinks very highly of himself and has relatively high salary expectations. When he was able to do something, he ran away again. Therefore, companies now like to use children trained in colleges, technical secondary schools and even vocational schools. At least these children know their own weight and can actually do things. You must know that many of them are not bad in talent. Many of them have poor family conditions and have suffered a hard time since they were young. They do not have the conditions to receive a good education. Once given the opportunity, they cherish it.

Today’s universities mislead many students. There is nothing wrong with expanding enrollment, but have laboratories been expanded? Has the classroom been expanded? Have teachers been expanded? At least the laboratory has not been expanded. A graduate student that Laoshu recognized said that only when one reaches a certain stage can one go to the laboratory to conduct experiments. Many tutors treat their students as slaves and work like slaves. If they can learn something while working, they are lucky. Those who are unlucky are directly the tutor's cheap labor. If they can't learn anything, they just work. Quite a few.

However, since students have to get diplomas and cope with exams, and there is no other way, how can they save themselves?

At the entry stage, you need to learn a lot of knowledge, find out the knowledge system required in your field, and start from the most basic.

If you want to be an excellent electronic engineer, Laoshu can share your views.

To be an electronic engineer, you should start from 51. This is recognized. No need for old trees to talk.

First of all, go to a board, the cheaper the better, on which you can practice keil C. It is best to use an emulator to make debugging more efficient. Of course this is not cheap, but I think it can be a good idea for some like-minded brothers to get together. Anyway, 24 hours a day, each person takes turns for 8 hours. After a few months, the C51 language is almost there.

Secondly, take a look at Laoshu’s article. The college students who have nothing to do will go to Zhongfa and check out what resistors, capacitors, transistors, chips, connectors, etc. are mentioned in Laoshu’s article. Look at how the motherboard, network card, sound card, and graphics card on your computer are painted and get the feeling that these boards are all masterpieces by masters.

To conceive a small product, follow the thinking questions in Laoshu’s article, find a protel99se book, and practice from each menu, step by step, from the microcontroller minimum system->input->LED->RS /RS/RS->Start with the schematic drawings of solid-state relays, relays, etc., learn while drawing, and do it bit by bit. Once it is done, it is best to find an expert to take a look at it, find out where the faults are, and then make improvements repeatedly. Find the feeling in such simulated actual combat.

By the way, my opinion on the boards on the market. Of course these boards are good, but they can only teach you the language and cannot teach you how to draw schematics and PCBs. When actually doing it, you still need a master. Belt and Road is the fastest. A friend of mine taught me it, and it only took me half a day to do it. At that time, it was still version 3.16 of protel under DOS.

Fight to feed war. Wouldn't it be great to find a company and help them make a small product, so that they can get advice from experts and earn a fee at the same time? At this time, the cost of your board and emulator will come out. From schematic->PCB->C51, you can get started with the microcontroller.

Step 2: Enter the room

Comprehensively understand the knowledge in the technical field, make a good reserve of knowledge, and at the same time thoroughly master single and multiple technologies.

As an electronic engineer, at this time, you need to have a comprehensive understanding of all electronic technology, mainly by reading technical articles on BBS, "Single Chip Microcomputer Application Technology" edited by Mr. He Limin "Encyclopedia" series provides a comprehensive understanding of microcontrollers and their supporting circuits, input and output, communications, etc. What is the goal? System technical reserves. Knowing what problems can be solved using what methods and where the solutions may be found will be very beneficial to you when you go to work and solve practical problems in the future. If you can really do this, then you will definitely be better than the old comrades in the unit in the future.

When Lao Shu was in the state-owned research institute, he had nothing to do for a while. During that one or two years, he looked over the technology of the institute, especially "Electronic Technology Applications". A good foundation has been laid.

At this time, strive for the opportunity to learn the hardware design of the experts. A faster way is to go to the manufacturer of the industrial computer to see how the board and conditioning board of the industrial computer are designed and what are used. I remember that Lao Shu saw a foreign device for the first time. He asked everywhere but didn’t know what it was. Later I saw it at Sitong Industrial Control and it turned out to be a solid state relay. At this time, all the knowledge about solid state relays came to mind.

That’s what it is. If you don’t know what it does, you will see it every day and turn a blind eye.

This is how a thoughtful person can slowly accumulate knowledge and strength under any circumstances. After all, a product does not only require a single-chip microcomputer, but also requires a lot of circuits. According to Teacher He's classification, forward, backward, human-machine, mutual channels, etc., can it be made into a product.

At this time, seize any opportunity to participate in a large-scale product and do one thing in it. You can learn some elements of the product such as communication, collaboration, interface, etc.

The third step: Diligence leads to excellence

There are so many Chinese people, and everyone has an IQ, who is stupider than anyone else. Why are you better than others? Can you have a good job and a good income, can you drive a nice car and be a beautiful woman? Laoshu believes that there is no other way but to rely on diligence.

Study diligently - everyone knows this truth, knowledge is money;

Work diligently - if you want to make more money than others, if you have the same IQ, you have to spend more time working , and then improve work efficiency. Others work 5×8 hours, but you work 7×16 hours. If you double your work efficiency, will you soon earn 5 times more money than others? Laoshu has two employees. I used to make no money growing apples in my hometown. I work in Laoshu on a piece-rate basis. When the work is busy, I get up at 8:00 in the morning and finish work at 12:00 at night. I also make a profit at the end of the year. I am happy to have the money back home, and the old tree is also happy. The work that used to be done by one person in the house is now done by two people, which saves management trouble and the employees also make money.

Same thing. Of course, this requires you to have this mechanism, the mechanism of more reward for more work. But if not now, would you like to do this?

I think it is necessary. On the one hand, do other people's work, practice your own skills, and develop your own abilities. On the other hand, if you work more, you can quickly increase your skills, make leaps and breakthroughs in technology, and become more proficient and masterful. At least, there is no problem with skilled trades.

It’s like a pot of water that always has a small fire. After burning for a long time, it is still lukewarm; but once the fire is on, it will boil in a while, that’s what it means.

Look at Guo Jing in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". He has no other skills, he just practices stupidly. That's what technology is like. If you break through the threshold, you will have a smooth road. You need to be diligent and diligent and diligent. One day this day will come, and you will be relieved after all your hardships.

Diligence has another meaning, that is, God rewards hard work. In fact, when everyone sees a diligent person, he will give him a chance. He feels happy to help such a person and feels relieved to put things in his hands.

Another implication is to draw parallels. Knowledge requires many references to compare, associate, extract, and sublimate. In other words, you may have put in n times as much effort as others, but what you have received in return is n times more than others. Your knowledge is no longer simply accumulated, it has changed qualitatively.

If you are in this unit, work hard and produce results, but you don’t get fair treatment, it doesn’t matter. Just change the environment, and there will always be people who will appreciate you. Besides, hard work always pays off.

Some people are used to blaming others. They don’t have good parents, good teachers, good companions, or a good environment. These people need to read Zhou Ligong's articles and see how Teacher Zhou has grown step by step.

Step 4: Communication and collaboration

It used to be, but now it is becoming less and less. If you make a small product, you can live a worry-free life.

This is becoming less and less common now. In any unit, to make a product well, you need to actively communicate with peers and collaborate with people in different departments. Often communicate with people in different units to complete opinions and matters.

Some people are introverted. From a technical point of view, this is not advisable. You still need to be good at communicating with colleagues and seek advice from experts in order to learn true skills.

Step 5: In-depth understanding of a certain industry

Everyone needs a unique technology to survive in this world; not to mention you are a reader of this;

p>

Some people are born charming, some are born with golden voices, and some have good parents; these are not enough to rely on, let alone those who do not have these talents.

When you master high-end technologies such as microcontrollers, ARM, CPLD/FPGA, etc., it should be said that there is no problem in maintaining a healthy life, and you can solve the basic problems of life; however, you still want to take a step forward, It requires in-depth understanding and exploration of a certain industry. The engineers I know who rely on technology to make a living at BMW are not technically superior at the beginning, nor does it mean that their products will be better than others from the beginning. Others are much better, but they are all very resilient people. They are all seizing opportunities in a certain industry, working intensively in a certain industry, and persevering. Others have gone to other things, and only he is still slowly working in this industry. Come, after 5 years or more, it will gradually gain recognition from people in the industry, the product will continue to improve, and the market will slowly open up. Finally, it will gain a foothold, the opportunity will come, and it will become prosperous. A friend of mine achieved Zhengguo through cultivation in this way.

There is a joke that says: The industry you just left develops the fastest.

That's the truth.

China is big and the market is big. As long as you work hard, you will gain something.

Do you need to work in multiple industries? Personally, no need. There is gold in that industry.

As far as that goes, is it necessary? It depends on whether you have talents in this area; it also depends on whether you have a mechanism in this area. Otherwise, there is no need to blindly expand into multiple industries. What needs to be done is to be at least among the top three in a certain industry.

You see, the original LOTUS notes were given to IBM. Originally, they were only issued in 10,000 copies. When they arrived at IBM, they were distributed in 10,000 copies. The product is just like this. While occupying the market, profits will be made and economies of scale will be achieved. You don’t need too much of a product, but having more is the right way to go.

Like Gillette, it is such a small blade, and it is so comfortable to make such a large enterprise.

Like GE, every industry is the leader in the industry, which is the accumulation of technology in capitalist society for many years. In China, what needs to be done is that every small product is the most prominent. Start with small products and strive to be the best in China, the best in Asia, and the best in the world. That's it. China will become stronger.

At that time, it will be possible for a company as big as GE to emerge. Only then can such a large technical foundation be formed.
