03 Student Testimonials

Yuyang Zhao

For the five of us, as freshmen, this project was undoubtedly a huge challenge and adventure. We completed the entire project flow in an extremely short time, without any outsourcing. None of the five of us could have been left out; each person had their shining moments and astonished the others in their area of responsibility. When one party encountered a problem, the five of us worked together to solve it—unity became our secret weapon for success. We poured our absolute maximum effort into this project. In our view, the First Prize wasn't luck; it was inevitable! Of course, we must also thank the mentors, teaching assistants, and friends who provided us with invaluable advice and assistance!

Zepeng Lin

Thanks to the Introduction to Engineering course, I have gained a completely new perspective on the engineering discipline. By participating in this course, I deeply realized that engineering is not just the application of technology, but an innovative process for solving real-world problems. The importance of teamwork was fully demonstrated in our group discussions; only through close collaboration could we find the optimal solution. It also made me recognize the critical role of innovative thinking in engineering. In the future, I hope to cultivate both innovation awareness and critical thinking while mastering solid theoretical knowledge, thereby contributing to social development. This event has made me look forward to the engineering discipline and further solidified my academic direction.

Youqi Huang

After participating in the Introduction to Engineering project defense, I felt a slight sense of regret, but more importantly, I genuinely felt the enhancement the project brought us. It not only built a practical innovation platform for us to turn knowledge into results but also greatly trained our teamwork and adaptability skills. From the initial project conception to the final defense presentation, we went through challenges and gained a lot. This was not just a test of our professional skills, but a honing of our innovative thinking and problem-solving abilities, laying a solid foundation for the future research path of us freshmen. I am grateful to the school for this valuable opportunity!

Xuancheng Zhan

Our team worked together to complete the construction of the AI Multi-Agent Novel Creation System. This was a journey full of challenges and rewards. Through the implementation of the project, we not only deepened our understanding of AI technology but also profoundly experienced the importance of teamwork. Throughout the process, everyone played to their strengths and collectively solved technical difficulties one after another. Ultimately, the successful operation of the system made us incredibly proud. This experience not only enhanced our technical capabilities but also made us cherish the power of collaboration even more.
