Instructor

Shu Guohua

Shu Guohua is a researcher at the School of Electronic Information and Electrical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and a doctoral supervisor. He is the deputy director of the Teaching Development and Student Innovation Center at the School of Electronic Information and Electrical Engineering, and the deputy director of the National Experimental Teaching Demonstration Center for Electrical Engineering and Electronics (Shanghai Jiao Tong University). He is an executive director of the Chinese Higher Education Society of Electrical Engineering and the deputy leader of the Joint Conference of National Experimental Teaching Demonstration Centers (Electronics Group). He is the first batch of leaders for the construction of national virtual simulation experimental teaching projects and the leader of a national-level first-class undergraduate course. He is a member of the expert group for the Shanghai division of the National College Student Electronic Design Competition and the National Graduate Electronic Design Competition. He is the course leader for the Shanghai City Fine Course “Electrical Engineering Experiment” and a member of the course group for the Shanghai City Fine Course “Analog Electronic Technology.” He has undertaken five projects under the Ministry of Education’s collaborative education initiative, receiving two first-class and one second-class awards for teaching achievements in Shanghai. He was awarded the third prize for “Teaching and Educating” at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

The “Principles and Experiments of Embedded Systems” course is a platform course for undergraduate students in the electrical engineering major, combining theory and practice, with approximately 800 students enrolled each year. The project “Cloud-Based 8086 Microcomputer System Simulation Experiment” built using this course was awarded the title of National Virtual Simulation Experiment Project in 2017. The course team has constructed a cloud platform, allowing students to access it via terminal computers to conduct virtual simulation experiments. Students learn about the virtual simulation microcomputer system based on the 8086 processor, progressively completing the “I/O Interface Experiment,” “8255 Chip Interface Experiment,” and “8253 Programmable Timer/Counter Chip Experiment,” which helps students master the following content:

1. Understand the basic principles of the 8086 microcomputer system and its assembly language programming principles. Familiarize with microcomputer system interface technology and programming methods through virtual experiments; master hardware circuit design, software programming, and debugging methods of the 8086 microcomputer system using Proteus simulation software.

2. Familiarize with the design process and experimental methods of the 8086 microcomputer system through basic I/O and memory usage experiments. By designing the 8255 and 8253 peripheral expansion circuit interfaces, reinforce basic knowledge of microcomputer systems and further master the design technology of extended systems for the 8086 microcomputer system.
