In which direction should beginners focus their efforts?

Start with small things, take it step by step, lay a solid foundation – once you have a clear direction, you will reap rewards.

But how is the direction established?

I’m a beginner too and hope to gain more experience

First and foremost, it’s important to understand that design is a very complex and intricate task. If you work at a large design firm, then congratulations as a newcomer – you’ll have the opportunity to receive various trainings arranged by the company from time to time. Although the amount of work you handle each day might be limited, it still forms the foundation, and you need to focus on that. Of course, this alone isn’t enough; you also need to learn to seek out information on your own, identify problems, and take advantage of the abundant resources available. There are many experienced colleagues who are willing to help you improve. These are all your strengths; you need to make use of them and work hard. If you work at a small design firm, then as a newcomer, congratulations – you have the opportunity to get involved in all aspects of projects. Although the pressure is high, it will also push you to mature quickly; you will soon become an experienced worker. Yet, in your free time, you’ll realize that there are many areas in which you’re not sure what to do, and you can only follow instructions. Perhaps studying theoretical concepts and learning the details is something you should focus on outside of work. The manufacturing process is a complicated task; it’s not something that can be accomplished in just one go. Effort also requires time, and what matters most is persistence. The key is persistence

I’m very grateful for the insights from the person on floor 5. My situation is the same as theirs – I spend my days drawing diagrams and putting forward various requirements. But sometimes I really don’t understand why I make such suggestions, and I’m not sure which things need to be learned or are most important; it’s always confusing

There’s so much to learn:lol :lol

It’s always difficult at the beginning, but once you persevere through that phase, hope will appear!

At the beginning, one has to start with the basics, that is, doing various chores – nothing that requires any technical skills. But this is a process that must be gone through when working in a design institute. Once new employees arrive next year, you won’t be needed anymore, haha. When you first start, you need to find time to study the relevant standards carefully and think about why certain things are done the way they are. You must be eager to learn and ask questions; don’t be lazy. Use this year to accumulate knowledge, and next year you’ll have the opportunity to take on more technical tasks. Don’t wait until the opportunity comes along without being prepared – that would be a real disappointment. I’m also a newcomer; I’ve only been working for half a year. Let’s work together, and feel free to communicate more whenever possible, haha

Bring in the drawings designed by your seniors at the design institute to take a look; you can learn a lot from them, which is highly beneficial for improving your system design, process calculations, and equipment layout.

I should learn more from the experience of my seniors~~~

If you have time, feel free to visit this forum often – there are many experts here, and it contains plenty of learning materials you might need. Many friends are willing to help you. As for the usefulness of the simulation software you mentioned, it depends on how much you use it; in any case, it can help you achieve twice the results with half the effort! ! It also depends on whether you like this job

There is so much to learn; I agree

It’s like this at the beginning of any job; after working there for a while, you learn the ropes

Understand the process flow of the projects you work on, start with small tasks, and seek advice from more experienced colleagues.
