Why are these Learning Approaches Important for a System/Embedded

Programming Student

By Raghu Bharadwaj

Lead trainer @ Veda Solutions

Are You Fundamentally a Programmer?

Ask this question to your selves. See if you really ENJOY programming. If the answer is a strong YES then look no further to master System/Embedded programming skills

Remember that it’s not about knowing language syntax but your HABIT and ability to write programs to solve a given scenario

1

It’s about Perception Not Information

Engineering graduates instinctively look for more and more information but fail to recognize the need to improve their perception.

What you need is the right training methodology and process which can broaden your perception

2

Forget Syntax, Get the Big Picture

Most student instinctively look to understand the syntax of the program and fail to look at the concept, design of the program, programming methodology and standards.

If you are fundamentally strong in programming, get the big picture first and look at ways to implement it later

vs.

How?

Why?What?

3

Give Yourselves Time

You may not get core programming skills in the first go. Every student has his own pace of learning. So give time to learn, do not rush and do not feel bad about learning it slow

It’s all about proper comprehension not about learning it fast

4

Learn to build a Career Not a Job

Most fresh graduates are worried about getting a job rather than building a career. Remember that this will make you look for shortcuts to get a job rather than doing what is necessary to build a career

Students focusing on careers have a satisfying and fulfilling life than students who are hasty to get a first job

5

Avoid Easy Options

Shortcuts• Prepare for interview questions and get through• Join mediocre institutes offering real-time projects and look

for placements• Completely rely on placement guarantee options

If you succeed you will suffer your success

The Right Approach• Have a very generalized view of things so that you can face

any interview questions• Work hard to increase your understanding of the subject

You will always succeed and enjoy your career

6

Ask the Right Questions

Do not avoid asking your trainer/mentor what you feel is important to deepen your understanding

Try asking questions which can accentuate your thinking process

Avoid questions which makes your trainer/mentor repeat what he just spoke, unless really important.

7

Come Prepared to Learn

Do not come with preconditioned ideas. Be open to what you listen

Be relaxed and take a shower in tepid water if possible before coming to the class

Sit in a comfortable position, possibly with your spine erect

Avoid deviations like talking to your friend and using your phone

8

Have the Right Guide

Having the right trainer or guide is of extreme importance. It will make things easier and faster for you.

Look for a trainer who can work on increasing your perception and not on giving you heaps of information.
