National Electronic Design Contest
Built a complete electronic system from scratch in 4 days for the National Electronic Design Contest. Competed at the provincial level.
Background
The National Electronic Design Contest (全国大学生电子设计竞赛) gives teams four days to design, build, and test a complete electronic system from scratch. It's one of the most demanding undergraduate engineering competitions in China.
What I Did
Designed and implemented the full system including schematic, PCB layout, firmware, and testing within the competition window. Focused on signal integrity, analog front-end design, and real-time STM32 control.
Challenges
Four days is extremely tight for a complete hardware + firmware system. Prioritizing what to build vs. what to simplify under time pressure is the core skill the competition tests.
Takeaways
Learned to make fast, pragmatic engineering decisions under a hard deadline. The competition sharpened both my hardware intuition and my ability to debug under pressure.
