Embedded System Learning Log: The Journey from Theory to Practice





Today in class, we first figured out the "rules" of this course. There is a regulation called the "Assessment Barrier". If you fail the final exam, even if your total score reaches 50% or higher, you will still fail the course and won't be able to resubmit your assignments. There is also the "Taylor's Graduate Capabilities Portfolio (TGCP)", which is an e-portfolio. It should be like a personal academic blog and integrate the work of each future semester. It can demonstrate our grasp of the course content and the capabilities of graduates.


We also learned about the composition of the grades for this course. Assignment 1 accounts for 20%, Assignment 2 accounts for 30%, the final project accounts for 40%, and the e-portfolio accounts for 10%. The recommended books, Introduction to Embedded Systems and Computers as Components, should be carefully read later to expand our knowledge.





The teacher showed us a lot of industry-related infographics, which were really interesting. There is one called "Technology Brings Us Together", which talks about how technology has brought people closer, especially in terms of communication and cooperation. There is also "Differential Privacy", which discusses local and global privacy models. It was only then that I realized how complicated privacy protection is in the data age. The infographic "The Impact of Technology on the Music Experience" shows how technology has revolutionized the music experience, from recording to playback. "Cybersecurity" is even more interesting, as it lists common threats such as phishing and ransomware. Cybersecurity is truly crucial. These infographics have broadened my horizons and allowed me to see that embedded systems can be applied in various fields.


The most exciting part was "Intelligent Symbiotic Design in FUTURE PULSE - EMBEDDED SYSTEMS AND INTERACTIVE SPACES". Taking the capacitive humidity sensor as an example, it explained how to create an interactive space to maintain indoor humidity, clearly describing the system composition, control layer, execution layer, and interaction layer. There was also the smart home scenario of "turning off the lights when people leave", which uses sensors to detect human activities in the room and then automatically controls the lights. These examples that connect theory with practical applications made me immediately understand how powerful embedded systems are and how much potential they have.


There is also the concept of "Innovative Ideas and Benchmark Ideas", which is really inspiring. From setting goals and brainstorming, to enhancing employee motivation and collaborating with technology partners, and then to implementing ideas and collecting feedback, this set of processes points out a clear path for future projects.





The Fun of Hands-on Practice


In the afternoon, we went to the laboratory to build circuits, and it was really interesting. We placed breadboards, colored wires and electronic components on the table. Everyone gathered around and carefully connected the wires according to the computer tutorial. There were many problems in the process, such as incorrect wiring or components not working. But by looking up information and discussing with each other, we gradually solved these problems. Through this experience, I fully realized that theory is really different from practice, and also understood the importance of teamwork in solving technical problems.



Today's class was really fulfilling. From the course grading rules, to industry knowledge, to creative inspiration and hands-on practice, every link has given me a new understanding of embedded systems. I'm looking forward to learning more knowledge and skills in the future and creating cooler projects!

I gained a deeper understanding of the real-world implementation of interaction design on mobile devices thanks to this class, which concentrated on the fundamentals of user experience and mobile software design. I became proficient in every step of the process—from requirement research and user profile creation to information architecture design, prototype development, and user testing—thanks to the instructor's explanations and case studies.Additionally, a video recording of the speech was made.Completed the after-class assignment for the PPT. Class Notes: Enhanced Sneaker-centric E-commerce App vs. Pinduoduo 1. Introduction New App Overview: Focuses on sports brands (Nike, Adidas, Converse), offering a one-stop, seamless shopping experience with a simple interface. Pinduoduo Reference: A well-known comprehensive e-commerce platform in China, with a wide range of products, group buying and low-price strategies, high market share but complex categories.

 Summary of Maya UV Editing Learning  In the learning process of Maya, UV editing is the core step in the 3D modeling process that connects the model with the texture and material. It directly affects the final rendering effect. After some time of study, I have gained a more systematic understanding of the logic, tools, and process of UV editing. Here is a summary:  1. The core objective of UV editing  The essence of UV editing is to "unfold" the surface of a 3D model into a 2D planar coordinate (i.e., UV coordinates), so that 2D textures (such as color, normal, roughness, etc.) can precisely fit the surface of the model. The core goals are threefold:  1. No stretching/distortion: Ensure that the texture is evenly proportioned when applied to the model, avoiding local stretching or compression;  2. Rational Layout: Arrange compactly within the UV quadrant to avoid wasting space (which would affect texture accuracy);  3. Hidden seams: Place the UV seams...
