Recently, the Northwest Regional Semi-Finals of the 2025 Embedded System Design Competition, hosted by Southeast University, the Nanjing Jiangbei New Area Management Committee, and Lanzhou Jiaotong University (Northwest Division), concluded. Our students demonstrated exceptional professional skills and teamwork, winning one first prize in the Northwest region (members Chen Baotong, He Wensi, Hu Zijun, guided by teachers Peng Zekun and Yang Laibao) and four third prizes (members Fan Jianwei, Fan Weibao, Liu Rui; Wang Yongqi, Gong Bowen, Wei Jie; Chen Linian, Feng Wenbin, Ma Yong; Peng Weihao, Zhang Zhengyi, Cui Wenbo, guided by teachers Fang Ming, Wang Ronghua, Wang Lingjuan, He Xiaochan). One team successfully qualified for the national finals, showcasing the school’s outstanding educational achievements and students’ solid professional qualities.

As an important platform for evaluating the quality of applied talent training in higher education, this competition gathered outstanding participants from various educational levels, including graduate, undergraduate, and vocational students, making the competition particularly fierce. The participating teams underwent more than three months of refinement, from topic conception to solution design, from prototype production to repeated debugging, maintaining high standards throughout. The guiding teachers closely followed the cutting-edge trends in the embedded systems field, striving for excellence in every aspect, overcoming numerous difficulties, and continuously optimizing their solutions. Ultimately, with innovative design concepts, solid technical foundations, and excellent teamwork, they stood out among many competing teams and received unanimous recognition from the judges. Currently, the team that qualified for the national competition has quickly entered the preparation phase, planning to further refine the details of their work, optimize technical parameters, and improve the on-site presentation plan. Faculty and students will push for higher standards in project iteration, aiming to showcase the school’s professional development achievements on the national stage.

In recent years, the college has taken the opportunity of upgrading its programs to vigorously promote professional development, continuously enhancing the curriculum system, building practical platforms, and strengthening the faculty team. It has consistently adhered to the principle of “promoting education through competition and promoting learning through competition,” integrating the technical requirements and innovation standards from competitions into daily teaching, and facilitating students’ transition from “skill mastery” to “innovative application.”
The awards and qualification for the national competition not only affirm the hard work of the students but also validate the school’s phased achievements in professional development. In the future, the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering will use this success as motivation to further solidify the foundation of professional development, deepen the integration of industry and education, and reform practical teaching, aiming to cultivate more high-quality applied talents that meet industry needs.
