From August 10 to 13, 2025, the National Finals of the Applications Event of the 8th National College Students’ Embedded Chip and System Design Competition were held in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. The entry titled “Wearable Assistive Rehabilitation System for Hemiplegic Patients Based on RT-Thread System” by Ran Min, Yang Xinyue and Sun Yuhan from the School of Mechanical Engineering and Electronic Information won the Best Engineering Award (only two awarded nationwide) and the National First Prize. The seven teams from the School of Mechanical Engineering and Electronic Information that advanced to the national finals collectively won two national first prizes, four national second prizes, and one national third prize. This marks a major breakthrough following our school's achievement of one national second prize and one national third prize in this competition in 2024.

The participating teams have gone through four levels of selection: university competition, the preliminary round of the Central Region competition, the semi-finals of the Central Region competition, and national finals. The national finals involved comprehensive assessments of team members' abilities, presentations and defenses of final projects, and competitions for the Best Engineering Award and Best Innovation Award. In 2025, 11,800 teams composed of 32,388 students from 735 universities across the country participated in the competition. The national finals awarded 158 national first prizes (including 2 Best Engineering Awards), 311 national second prizes, and 550 national third prizes.
The School of Mechanical Engineering and Electronic Information began organizing preparations in late 2024, and the guidance team include Li Yingyu, Wang Yong, Yang Yong, Li Xiang, Huang Tianye, Yan Jun, Wang Jiahao, Cheng Zhuo, Wang Xiaoli, Luo Dapeng, Hao Guocheng, Wang Wei, Yuan Quan, et al. With the support of the School of Mechanical Engineering and Electronic Information, the guidance team integrated competition preparation with specialized coursework including “Professional Comprehensive Internship 1,” “Microcontroller and Embedded Systems Applications,” “Microcontroller and Embedded System Application Experiments,” and “Embedded Control System Design Internship.” They mobilized and guided 87 students to undertake the design and development of an engineering-based embedded innovation project for the competition. Over a six-month period, they progressed through the following stages: refining concepts, designing solutions, developing system architecture, debugging functionality, optimizing performance metrics, and executing engineering iterations. The competition guidance team has strengthened students' professional foundation, improved their embedded application capabilities, deepened their engineering design ideas, and expanded their professional frontiers through the integration of coursework and competition.
It is reported that the National College Students’ Embedded Chip and System Design Competition is a nationally recognized academic competition organized by the China Education Society of Electronics for regular higher education institutions. This competition has now become one of the most widely participated ranking competitions for electrical engineering programs in national universities, with high popularity and authority among universities and industry enterprises, and has become an important standard for measuring students' abilities in the field of embedded chip and system design. The competition aims to enhance the independent innovation design and engineering practice capabilities of university students nationwide in the fields of embedded chip and system design, as well as programmable logic device applications. It seeks to cultivate outstanding talents with innovative thinking, the ability to solve complex engineering problems, and a spirit of teamwork. While invigorating the academic atmosphere of innovation and entrepreneurship on campus, it also advances collaborative talent development partnerships between universities and enterprises.
