认识实习报告 2016年6月20日我们开始了我们为期三天的认识实习，从学校一些重要的实验室到学校的网络中心室，还有西安软件园和中兴手机。虽然说我们从来到这所学校已经快一年了，但是我们对学校的了解还是微乎其微，比如各种各样的实验室，他们有自己不同的发展方向和侧重点，还有各种各样高级的实验设备和经验丰富的指导老师，这些都是一个学校，一个学院甚至一个专业的精华所在，是无数代前人和学长学姐努力的产物，他们把它赋予价值并且发扬光大。相比于对自己学院的核心一无所知，整天待在宿舍，能见识一下自己所在地方的魅力，显得意义非凡。第一天我们参观的是自动化学院的实验室，参观的同时有老师或者学长进行讲解，我们首先参观的是217-221实验室，他们的侧重点是测控和计控原理，其中自控原理的核心思想是闭环控制，老师讲解的时候举了一个空调的例子。一个闭环控制主要部件有控制器、执行器、被控对象和监测系统。即由监测系统检测并反馈给CPU，CPU启动执行器，执行器执行其所控制的被控对象，比如空调会制冷，形成一个闭合的执行系统。211实验室主要是单片机，也叫单板机，是一个装置的核心控制部分。然后还参观了无线传感实验室，主要承担智能传感网、物联网技术等，面向测控技术与仪器。中途老师还带我们参观了航模实验室，虽然核心地区在一个非常小的屋子里，但是里面墙壁，桌面上，地上，摆放着各种各样的飞行器组件及成品，虽然有些成品看起来非常简单，但它却能完成各种各样的飞行任务，保持双翼平衡及旋转角度控制，真的非常神奇，因为完成它们的不是什么传说中的科学家或教授，而是在校大学生，是一些为了梦想不断学习的普普通通的大学生。最后参观的是非常有意思的一个实验室，叫机器人创新实验室，他们主要是做一些有目的性的“机器人”，可以完成特定任务，当然它们的长相不一定是人的形态，是一个比较形象的称呼，主要是由一些传感器和电机以及单片机焊接电路组成，学长还展示了他们的功能，比如避障，摇尾巴，电子秤，会踢足球的机器人，还有门禁系统，我觉得这些和我们东区的嵌入式其实差不多，可是我却并不了解！在这个过程中，老师还展示了一些学长学姐由一个思想的火花把它变成现实

The industrial revolution refers to the mechanization of industry and the consequent changes in social and economic organization in Britain in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Britain was the first country to industrialize. The industrial revolution A period in the late 18th and early 19th centuries when major changes in agriculture, manufacturing, production, and transportation had a profound effect on the socioeconomic and cultural conditions in Britain. The Industrial Revolution, was a period of unprecedented technological, economic and social change that completely transformed British culture from a largely rural, static society with limited production and division of labour into the world's first modern industrial society. the Black Death It was the deadly bubonic plague who spread through Europe in the 14th century. It swept through England without warning and any cure, and sparing no victims. It killed between half and one-third of the population of England. Thus, much land was left untended and labor was short. It caused far-reaching economic consequences. The Black Death----It was one of the deadliest pandemics in human history, peaking in Europe between 1348 and 1350. It is widely thought to have been an outbreak of bubonic plague caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestisis and have started in Central Asia. It came without warning, and without any cue.The Black Death is estimated to have killed30% to 60% of Europe's population and had profound effects on the course of European history. In England, it killed almost half of the total population, causing far-reaching economic consequences. the Progressive Movement The Progressive Movement is a movement demanding government regulation of the economy and social conditions. It spread quickly with the support of large numbers of people across the country. It was not an organized campaign with clearly defined goals.(Rather, it was a number of diverse efforts at political, social, and economic reforms. In spite of limitations of the movement, it brought about changes and improvement in many fields.) Roman Britain was the part of the island of Great Britain controlled by the Roman Empire between AD 43 and about 410. Britannia already had cultural and economic links with Continental Europe, but the invaders introduced new developments in agriculture, urbanisation, industry and architecture, leaving a legacy that is still apparent today. The first Romans to campaign extensively in Britain were
