Eyona misebenzi yerobhothiki ihlala ixesha elide eMzantsi Afrika ayimalunga nokwakha iimatshini ezihambayo, ezithethayo. Imalunga nokugcina iinkqubo ezizenzekelayo esele zikho zisebenza, ukuxhuma iisenza kumafama nakwiindawo zokugcina impahla, nokubhala ikhowudi ye-embedded ehlala phakathi kwemoto yombane nesikrini. Nguwo lowo umsebenzi abaqeshi abangayeki ukusixelela ukuba abakwazi ukuwuzalisa, kwaye ukude lee kwiirobhothi ezifana nabantu ezigcwele kumaqweqwe eendaba.

Ukuba ungumzali, utitshala, okanye umfundi weBanga le-10 ozama ukugqiba ukuba irobhothiki ngumsebenzi wokwenene na okanye yinto edlulayo nje, nantsi inyaniso. Imfuno ikhona ngokwenene. Kodwa ayikhangeleki njengoko imifanekiso ibonisa.

Irobhothi efana nomntu isiphazamiso

Iindaba ngerobhothiki zidla ngokubonisa umatshini okhangeleka ngathi ungumntu esenza i-backflip okanye egalela isiselo. Loo msebenzi ukhona, kodwa likona elincinci kakhulu lecandelo, elixhomekeke kakhulu kuphando, kwaye phantse akwenzeki apha kuthi. Ukuwusukela kushiya umfundi eziva ngathi kukho into ayiphosileyo.

Iirobhothi eziqhuba uqoqosho lwaseMzantsi Afrika ngokwenene azinamtsalane. Ngumgca wokupakisha kwifektri yezinto eziselwayo, yingalo yokuthatha-nokubeka kwifektri yezinto zombane, sisilawuli sonkcenkceshelo efama, nayo ikhonveya yokwahlula impahla kwiziko lokusasaza. Akukho nanye kuzo ekhangeleka njengomntu. Zonke ziyonakala, zifuna ukulungiswa, zifuna umntu oqonda macala omabini — elombane nelesoftware — ukuze zihlale zivelisa.

Uphi ngokwenene umsebenzi

Xa ususa ingxolo yentengiso, imfuno ihlanganene kumacandelo amane. Umfundi ojolise nakweliphi na kuwo ujolise kumsebenzi osele ukho.

Ukulungiswa kweenkqubo ezizenzekelayo kunye ne-mechatronics

Yonke ifektri, umgodi, neziko lokusetyenzwa kweemveliso sele zinezixhobo ezizenzekelayo. Kufuneka kubekho umntu ozifakayo, oziqalisayo, ofumanisa ingxaki xa umgca umile, aze azilungelelanise xa imveliso itshintsha. Eli lelona qela likhulu lomsebenzi ozinzileyo, kwaye libavuza abo bakhululekileyo ukubamba i-multimeter ngesandla esinye nelaptop ngesinye. Kwakhona limelana ne-load shedding ngcono kunemisebenzi emininzi yasedesikeni, kuba iimatshini zisafuna ingqwalasela xa umbane ubuya.

Itekhnoloji yezolimo

Ezolimo zaseMzantsi Afrika ziqhutywa yinzuzo emxinwa nemozulu engaqikelelekiyo, into eyenza ukuzenzekela kube nomtsalane. Iisenza zomswakama womhlaba, unkcenkceshelo oluzenzekelayo, ulawulo lwemozulu kwiindlu zokukhulisela izityalo, neenkqubo zokubeka esweni ziyasasazeka ukusuka kumafama amakhulu orhwebo ukuya kumashishini amancinci. Abantu abafaka baze bagcine ezi nkqubo bafuna izakhono ezisisiseko ezifanayo nezengcali yobugcisa yasefektri, kunye nomonde wothuli, welanga, nowokuqhuba imigama emide.

Ezothutho nokugcinwa kwempahla

Ukukhula korhwebo lwe-intanethi kufake imali kwiinkqubo zeekhonveya, kwizixhobo zebharkhowudi nezokuskena, nakwiinkqubo zokwahlula impahla ezizenzekelayo ngokuyinxenye. Amaziko okusasaza impahla eGauteng naseKapa afuna iingcali zobugcisa ezinokugcina ezi zixhobo zihamba ngamaxesha axakekileyo. Ngumsebenzi wokwenza, osebenza ngamatshifu, kwaye uyanda endaweni yokuncipha.

Uphuhliso lwe-embedded nelwe-IoT

Ngasemva kwalo lonke elo candelo lingasentla kukho iqela elincinci, elihlawulwa ngcono, labantu ababhala i-firmware baze bakhe amabhodi. Abaphuhlisi be-embedded basebenza kufuphi ne-hardware, nge-C okanye i-MicroPython, kwii-microcontroller ezinememori encinci kakhulu. Leli likona apho umfundi olugqwesileyo kwisoftware nomfundi olugqwesileyo kwizinto zombane badibana khona, kwaye imfuno yasekhaya ihlala igqwesa unikezelo.

Oko abaqeshi bathi abakwazi ukukufumana

Isikhewu asikho kangako kwizidanga. Abaqeshi babalisa ibali elinye ngomntu abasokola ukumfumana. Bafuna umntu onokuma phambi komatshini omileyo, afunde umzobo weentambo, ajonge umqondiso, aze aqiqe indlela eya kwingxaki ngaphandle kokulinda injineli yomthengisi ibhabhe ize apha.

Zintathu iintswelo eziphinda-phindayo. Okokuqala, abantu abanokudibanisa i-hardware ne-software endaweni yokwazi elinye icala kuphela. Okwesibini, abantu abakhululekileyo ukukhangela ingxaki kwinkqubo ephilayo, kungekhona kumzekelo wencwadi kuphela. Okwesithathu, abantu abanemikhwa ebenza bakhuseleke babe luncedo ngosuku lokuqala: ukufunda i-datasheet, ukufaka amaleyibhile kwiintambo, ukuvavanya ingcinga phambi kokutshintsha inxalenye. Akukho nanye kwezo nto ifuna izixhobo ezibizayo ukuze ifundwe. Ifuna uqheliselo lwezandla oluqala kwangethuba, luphindwe-phindwe.

Indlela iinkqubo zezikolo ekufuneka ziphendule ngayo

Isikolo asidingi rhobhothi yemizi-mveliso ukuze silungiselele umfundi lo msebenzi. Sidinga ukwakha imikhwa echanekileyo kwangethuba. Olu luhlu lulandelayo lulo omawulukhangele, okanye owakhe lona, kwinkqubo yerobhothiki.

• I-hardware yokwenene, kungekhona umlinganiso kuphela. Abafundi kufuneka bakhe isekethe ngeentambo, bayibukele isilela, baze bayilungise. Isikrini asinako ukufundisa ivumba loqhagamshelo olungachanekanga.
• Iisenza nee-actuator, kungekhona izikrini kuphela. Isakhono esiqeshwayo kukwenza ihlabathi eliphathekayo liphendule. Iimoto zombane, izibane, neesenza zibaluleke ngaphezu komnye umdlalo.
• Ukususa iimpazamo njengesakhono esiphambili. Owona mkhwa uxabisekileyo kukukhangela iingxaki ngokuzolileyo nangokucwangcisiweyo. Inkqubo elungileyo yenza izinto zonakale ngabom ize ivumele abafundi bazicombulule.
• Ikhowudi ebhaliweyo ecaleni kweebhloko. Iibhloko zithoba umqobo wokungena, kodwa umsebenzi we-embedded ubhaliwe. Abafundi kufuneka bayibone ingqiqo enye kuzo zombini, baze bakhulele kweyokubhala.
• Iiprojekthi ezifana namacandelo okwenene. Isixhobo esizenzekelayo sokunkcenkceshela izityalo okanye ikhonveya encinci sifundisa ngaphezu komsebenzi ongenamsebenzi ophathekayo, kuba sinxulumene netekhnoloji yezolimo nezothutho.
• Inkqubela, kungekhona iworkshop enye. Isakhono sivela ekubuyeleni kwi-hardware kangangeenyanga. Ukungcamla kanye kusisiqalo, kungekhona indlela epheleleyo.

Ukwakha umbhobho wetalente kwangethuba

Yile ngcinga engemva kwendlela esiqhuba ngayo iakhademi yethu yerobhothiki eKapa. Abafundi basebenza ngamabhodi okwenene ukususela kwiseshoni yokuqala, baxhume iisenza zokwenene, kwaye bachitha ixesha elilinganayo belungisa izinto nabelakha zona. Ibhodi ye-sheenbot∞ yayilungiselelwe le nto kanye: iisenza neziphumo ezaneleyo ebhodini ukuze wakhe into ezenza ngathi yinkqubo encinci ezenzekelayo, edweliswa ngeebhloko ekuqaleni ize ibe yi-MicroPython njengoko abafundi bekhula.

Ukuba ufuna ukubona ukuba iyamlungela na umfundi othile phambi kokuba uzibophelele, iseshoni yovavanyo enye yeyona ndlela yokungena inomngcipheko omncinci, kwaye iiworkshop zeeholide zesikolo zifaka ixesha elininzi lokusebenza ngezandla kwiveki enye. Akukho nanye kwezi zinto ekhethekileyo kuthi kuphela. Eyona nto ibalulekileyo yimo yoqheliselo, kungekhona igama lekhithi. Umfundi ochithe unyaka esenza iinkqubo eziphathekayo zisebenze, aze azilungise xa zingasebenzi, uhamba esiya kwimisebenzi uMzantsi Afrika ozama ngamandla ukuyizalisa.

Isishwankathelo

Irobhothiki ngumsebenzi wokwenene apha, kodwa kungekhona lowo usemfanekisweni wentengiso. Imali nentswelo zikwindawo yokulungiswa kweenkqubo ezizenzekelayo, kwitekhnoloji yezolimo, kwezothutho, nakuphuhliso lwe-embedded. Onke omane abavuza ngesiseko esinye: ukukhululeka nge-hardware, ukususa iimpazamo ngokuzolileyo, kunye nokukwazi ukushukuma phakathi kwecala lombane nelesoftware. Izikolo ezakha loo mikhwa kwangethuba, ngezixhobo zokwenene, zikhomba abafundi kumsebenzi okhoyo namhlanje.
