In the 1990s, the students of Beijing Institute of Technology carried out electrical and electronic experiments

Focusing on training students and training students in scientific research practice is a tradition of education in Beitech, which also lays a solid foundation for students to realize innovative ideas。"My doctoral supervisor Professor Feng Shunshan has a very strong hands-on ability, and a lot of equipment in the laboratory is built by him。His innovative thinking is very active. When encountering problems, how to decompose key technologies and how to solve problems has given us a lot of teaching from the methodology, and has accumulated experience in independent scientific research。"After PhD,Wang Haifu has been innovating for more than 20 years,Successfully realized from the concept of exploration and verification,To key technological breakthroughs,And then to engineering application and equipment development milestones across,It opens up a whole new field of research,Sharpen the "sword of a powerful country",Systematization has promoted the revolutionary cross-generation development of research in related fields in China,At the forefront of the world。

"At that time, the number of graduate students was very small, and only one or two people in a undergraduate class could go to graduate school, and everyone lived together and was familiar with each other。In the evening, after returning from the laboratory to the dormitory, we often communicate together, what has been done today, what progress has been made, and what needs to be improved, and listen to others' opinions and suggestions from multiple angles。The good learning style and teaching style of the North Institute of Technology are still enduring today。Teachers teach by example and by example, and guide students to devote themselves to scientific research and innovation;Students are hands-on, fully engaged, and striving to explore unknown areas。In the process of cultivation and accumulation, the scientific spirit of overcoming difficulties and climbing peaks has been throughout the growth and success of students。
