About

Zhengjiao Li is a dedicated educator and researcher whose work bridges the gap between competitive robotics and engineering education. Her primary research areas include embedded systems, autonomous robotics, and curriculum innovation, with a particular focus on the Micromouse competition—a challenge where small robotic mice navigate a 16×16 maze. Li’s major contribution lies in transforming this hands-on competition into a structured, interdisciplinary curriculum that integrates theory with practice. Her most-cited paper, *"Design and practice from the micromouse competition to the undergraduate curriculum"* (2015, 5 citations), explores how this conversion can enhance student learning across multiple engineering disciplines. In her later work, *"Research on Development-oriented IEEE MicroMouse Simulation System"* (2021, 2 citations), she addresses the inefficiencies of physical debugging by proposing a simulation system that allows for detailed observation of robot motion states. Though her citation counts are modest, Li’s impact is felt in the classroom, where she has pioneered a practical, project-based approach to teaching that prepares students for real-world engineering challenges. Her work exemplifies how competition-driven design can be systematically integrated into higher education curricula.
