The Internship Bilibili

[Evangeline Mellon]

815 a.m. I arrive at the Lakeside Campus in Natick and proceed straight to the cafeteria to grab a free, sumptuous breakfast. I sit down with a group of friends, mostly other interns, and discuss a host of different topics both related and unrelated to work.

9:30 a.m. Because our daily scrums and sync-up meetings are held around 10 a.m., I begin thinking about the updates on my work to provide to the team during the meeting. After figuring that out, I head to coffee machine and get a hot chocolate. I almost developed an addiction to this during the internship!

11:00 a.m. After the meeting, I spend a few minutes on clearly articulating and documenting the tasks for the rest of day, and then jump right into the work. I start thinking about complex optimizations that will be applied to MATLAB code before converting it into HDL. I search the massive codebase and begin tweaking it. After running some tests, I fix the ones that failed.

12:30 p.m. I eagerly wait for one of my friends to knock on my office door and head out to lunch. Just like breakfast, lunch is also free and offers a huge variety of choices with specials each day. The cafeteria is buzzing with MathWorks staff having lunch and discussing a plethora of different topics. On Thursdays, a special barbecue is organized in one of the outdoor areas on campus. The food is delicious, fresh off the grill!

1:30 p.m. I head back to the office after a refreshing game of Ping-Pong. Now is the time to write the most code and make the most progress on my project. I might also schedule another meeting might with my project mentor.

5:30 p.m. I conclude the day by documenting all the tasks completed on that day and reflecting on the progress made so far. After shutting down my laptop and waving my friends goodbye, I head to the gym. After an intense workout, I take the bus home.

A typical day would be full of learning, coding, coffee, and giggles. The program is so carefully crafted, which reflects one of MathWorks distinctive qualities, a great work-life balance. So amazed was I by the experience that I eagerly returned for another internship in the summer of 2023, and chose to return to MathWorks as a full-time engineer without much thought. Needless to say, my full-time journey has been just as fun as my internships.

First of all, from the perspective of reviewers, Professor Jin introduced the evaluation process of NSSFC projects, and analyzed the evaluation principles and mechanism of Social Science Fund in detail. She elaborated the core issues involved in the application of Humanities and Social Sciences projects from the aspects of project application requirements, research evaluation, and the process of application and evaluation. With data and examples, she introduced the topic selection, research methods, research significance and other related details involved in the process of application review, and emphasized the importance of good topic selection, good demonstration and good preliminary results as the three key elements of a successful application.

At the end, Professor Jin exchanged ideas with the researchers. The audience actively asked Professor Jin for adDeputy. Professor Jin generously shared her experience of the application. Her informative suggestions further deepened the understanding of teachers and students on the application for NSSFC projects, guiding teachers who are willing to apply NSSFC, especially those who have never done this before. President Chen Hongwei stressed the importance of the lecture. She hoped that the researchers be prepared research proposals in advance, so as to make new breakthroughs in the application for NSSFC projects in 2021.

After submitting the abstracts for peer review, the organizing committee will inform the author of the result by e-mail before July 1, 2020. You can register for the conference, securely pay the conference fee online as soon as possible after receiving the acceptance notice. For more information about the specific registration website, fees, accommodation and check-in, please refer to the follow-up notice on the official website of SFS, USTB

At 19:00 p.m. on April 3, the experience-sharing session on resume production of the SFS was held online. The speaker is Wang Huan, a career guidance teacher and undergraduate counselor of the SFS. More than 30 undergraduates and postgraduates attended the session.

In the interactive part, students actively asked questions and exchanged views with Ms. Wang. Wang Huan answered questions about resume template, form and personalized contents, and gave her suggestions.

With the increasing demand of the 2021 intern recruitment, the need of students to deliver internship positions is increasing day by day. In order to help students get internship offers, the SFS specially held this sharing meeting. In this session, the students said that Ms. Wang had rich experience in resume production, which benefited them a lot.

At 16:00 p.m. on April 9, the training session of trial teaching skills was held on Tencent meeting. The training was given by Yang Jiamei, head of campus recruitment of Beijing New Oriental School. A total of 70 graduate students of 2020 and 2021 from the SFS and students from other schools participated in the training.

At 19:00 p.m. on May 20, 2020, the final of the 18th Foreign Language Film Dubbing Competition of University of Science and Technology Beijing was held. The competition was launched on April 6. 158 entries in English, Japanese and German were received from various schools. After the preliminary and second contests, a total of 14 players entered the final. The final competition was held through Tencent conference and broadcast live through bilibili, with about 5,000 viewers watching online.

Present at the competition were Wang Li (Secretary of USTB Youth League Committee), Jing Peng (Deputy Director of the Student Affairs Department of USTB Party Committee), Wang Xiaoning (Deputy Minister of the Military Department of the University), Shao Lihua (Deputy Secretary of USTB Youth League Committee), Chen Hongwei (Dean of the SFS), Zhang qiuman (Secretary of the SFS Party Committee), Wang Na (Deputy Dean of the SFS), Fan Yiting (Deputy Dean of the SFS), Wu Guanxiong (Deputy Dean of the SFS), and Wang Yinghui (Deputy Secretary of the SFS Party committee), and Wang Xumei (Director of the German Department).

In the second round, the contestants were to dub the designated clips. The organizers had prepared a few Chinese classic film clips. The contestants were required to translate them into the target language in the competition by themselves and then dub. The judges gave overall scores on the translation, dubbing and creativity. The audience enjoyed the creative lines very much.

Later, Wang Na, Deputy Dean of the SFS, commented that it was a challenge to organize contests online during the epidemic. The talent and self-confidence shown by the contestants came from their hard work. Their wonderful performance was really impressive.

In the third round of voting, the votes of judges and those of public judges constituted the final votes of the contestants. Foreign teachers from English, Japanese and German departments gave their suggestions and wishes to the contestants through videos.
