开场白 (Intro)
Tip: 保持微笑,语速放慢。
"Good morning, dear professors. It’s my great honor to be here. My name is Yang Siqin. I come from Guangdong Province and I graduated from Shenzhen University, majoring in Electronic Information Engineering."

=========================板块一:专业能力 (My Engineering Passion)=========================
重点: 突出“动手能力”和“解决问题的韧性”。

"As an engineering student, I don’t just like reading books; I love making things work.

For example, in my Verilog course, I designed an interactive vending machine system on an FPGA board. I handled everything from the state machine design to both software and hardware debugging. I eventually got an A for this project, but there was a little 'drama' during the process.

When I first tested it, the PS/2 mouse module just wouldn't work. You know, PS/2 is such an old protocol—I'd call it a 'Grandpa-level' technology! I searched everywhere—textbooks, GitHub, even asked my teacher—but found nothing useful.

Finally, I found a blog post from 2014 on Zhihu. The author was also complaining about how 'unscientific' this old protocol is. After reading it carefully, I stayed up all night rewriting the code. When I finally fixed the bug and saw the mouse moving on the screen,I felt very happy.But When I looked out the window, oh my god, the sun was already rising. But I think that moment of success was the best feeling in the world."

=========================板块二:爱好与成电情缘 (Hobbies & Why UESTC)=========================
重点: 用“看雪”这个点引起共鸣,表达对成电的向往。

"In my spare time, I am a big fan of traveling. Coming from the warm south, I have a 'crazy' obsession with snow. This passion has taken me to many places, like the mountains in Yunnan and the historic streets of Xi'an. I love exploring new things and I’m never afraid of new challenges.

This is my second time in Chengdu. To be honest, I fell in love with this city the first time I came here. It has a unique 'vibe' that makes me feel at home.

I remember visiting the UESTC campus back in March. I walked along the famous Ginkgo Avenue and saw the building of our School of Info and Comm Engineering. Even though the leaves weren't yellow yet, the energy of the students there really impressed me. I’ve heard that by the end of the year, the whole avenue turns into a golden world. I really hope I can stay here and see that beautiful view with my own eyes as a student here."

============================板块三:家乡美食 (My Hometown & Food)============================
重点: 用幽默的语气讲故事,展示你的性格很阳光、好相处。

"Let me tell you something about my hometown, the Leizhou Peninsula. It’s one of the three big peninsulas in China, but it’s not as famous or rich as the other two. However, it has one thing that completely captured my heart: The Food.

I often invite my friends to visit my home. At first, they are always a bit skeptical. They’d say: 'Leizhou? Never heard of it. Is there anything good to eat there?' (语气带点调侃)

First, I treat them to our huge, fresh seafood. They usually say: 'Hmm, not bad.' Then, I take them for Papaya and Lamb Stew. The meat is so tender and the soup is sweet. Their reaction changes to: 'Wow, this is REALLY good!' But the 'killer' dish is always our local fried rice noodles (Chao Hefen). It’s cheap, big, and tastes like nothing they've had before. At that point, they usually grab my arm and shout: 'I can eat this all day!' By the end of the trip, they all fall in love with my hometown, just like I do."

结语 (Closing)
"That’s all for my introduction. Thank you for your time!"

二、可能问题

2.1 板块一专业能力(技术细节与抗压能力)

这部分导师最看重你是否真的亲手做了项目,而不是“拼凑”出来的。

  1. State Machine Logic: “You mentioned designing state machines. How many states did your vending machine have, and how did you handle the ‘change giving’ (找零) logic?”
    • (考查:逻辑严密性)
  2. Hardware vs. Software Debugging: “In an FPGA project, what is the main difference between hardware debugging and software simulation in your experience?”
    • (考查:对调试手段的理解,如 SignalTap 或波形仿真)
  3. The PS/2 Issue: “Why exactly was the PS/2 protocol ‘unscientific’ as you mentioned? Was it a timing issue (时序问题) or something else?”
    • (考查:你对那个 2014 年博客内容的消化程度)
  4. Verilog Best Practices: “During the all-night coding session, what was the most difficult bug to fix? How did you finally identify it?”
    • (考查:解决问题的具体方法论)
  5. Future Application: “If you were to upgrade this vending machine today, what new features or communication protocols would you add?”
    • (考查:前瞻性和对新技术如 USB/Type-C 的了解)

2.2 板块二——爱好与成电情缘(稳定性与综合素质)

这部分导师想看你是否真的想留在成都,以及你的性格是否适合高强度的科研。

  1. Travel and Research: “Traveling requires good planning. How do you apply your ‘planning skills’ from traveling to your engineering studies?”
    • (考查:迁移能力)
  2. Adapting to Chengdu: “You love snow, but it rarely snows in Chengdu. Will you feel disappointed if you stay here for three years and only see rain?”
    • (一个幽默的小坑,考查你的临场应变)
  3. Handling Challenges: “You said you’re not frustrated by new challenges. Can you give another example of a non-academic challenge you’ve faced?”
    • (考查:逆商/AQ)
  4. Why this School: “You saw our building in March. Besides the ‘vibe,’ what specific research direction in our School of Info and Comm Engineering attracts you most?”
    • 重点: 考查你对该学院实验室/导师的研究方向是否做过功课)
  5. The Ginkgo Avenue: “If you become a student here, who would you like to walk with on the golden Ginkgo Avenue at the end of the year?”
    • (闲聊题,看你的社交态度和性格是否阳光)

2.3 板块三——家乡美食(沟通能力与表达技巧)
