Hehe, I thought the same thing when I was a freshman. I am very motivated. Yes, I am also a graduate student majoring in flight design at Beihang University. Tell me about my own experience. At that time, I was a freshman in C++ class, and I was also interested in computer things. I taught myself some at that time. When programming, I suggest learning, experiencing and cultivating the idea of programming. C or C++ or JAVA is just a language. Of course, they each have their own advantages. If I suggest, you can read books on algorithms or do some programming exercises. Many colleges and universities have their own OJ and online judges. You can learn about it, practice more and get used to it. Besides, programming is very useful for our major. Speaking of which, I have to talk about MATLAB. The first time I came into contact with this software was in the experimental class of math class in Grade One and Grade Three. This software is also often used for calculation. C/C++ is for development, and the numerical calculation ability is not their concern. MATLAB is a special numerical calculation software with very powerful functions. Many problems in our major will be used. I suggest you study hard. Sophomore and junior students can take part in a mathematical modeling competition to exercise.

Single chip microcomputer? Embedded? In this case, in fact, professionally speaking, there is not much practice with fees. But as yourself, you can also learn about it through interest. I am very interested in microcomputer principle and interface technology, and even have the impulse to change my major to computer major for a while.

I came into contact with the finite element course in my junior year. This is very very important! ! You have heard the teacher mention this method more or less in some courses, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is the core knowledge (software) of our major. Not to mention the details, you can search online. In terms of software, there are many famous finite element analysis softwares: NASTRAN/PATRAN, ANSYS and ABAQUS of MSC series. Undergraduate students can basically master the basic functions of any of these softwares, because these softwares contain many modules and are extremely huge. It must be said that software learning can not ignore theoretical learning, and both finite element theory and software practice should be learned well. Take your time.

Followed by CATIA. We had a little contact in our junior year, very little, and learned it again in the first year of research. This software is used in the design of many aircraft design mainframes, and CAD software is the most widely used in the field of aircraft design. That's all the software.

Study hard, come on!
