Meisei University plans to open the "Data Science Circle (tentative name)" in April 2023.For the first time at a university in Tokyo, the system of "basic organization for implementing collaborative courses such as faculties", which is different from the conventional undergraduate departments, is utilized.Beyond the boundaries of the faculty, learn the expertise and practical skills of data science based on mathematical science, statistics, and informatics, as well as how to use them in the real world.
According to a survey by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (Survey on IT human resources supply and demand, March 2019), it is expected that there will be a shortage of about 3 IT human resources in Japan in 2030. It is required on a scale.
In order to develop human resources who can quickly respond to this social issue, Meisei University will be the first university in Tokyo to open a data science circle by utilizing the system of "Basic Organization for Implementing Coordinated Courses such as Undergraduates".Taking advantage of our strength as an integrated university with 9 faculties and 12 departments of science, human resources, and fusion on one campus, we will continue to study the fields of informatics, science and engineering, and economics while placing data science at the center of learning. Connect to.
In the data science circle, data science is systematically studied by setting up three subject categories: "basic subjects", "applied subjects", and "research practice subjects". Through four years of learning, you will acquire analytical and applied skills that can handle large amounts of data correctly and create new value.
For example, "applied subjects" consist of three faculties, the Faculty of Informatics, the Faculty of Science and Technology, and the Faculty of Economics, which cooperate with the Data Science Circle. Learn about actual usage sites and target data.Furthermore, in the "Research Practice Course", we will consider and practice how to utilize the knowledge and skills learned in various social issues.After graduation, he is expected to play an active role in all fields of society, such as AI engineers, marketing staff at general trading companies, and management consultants.
This plan is under construction, and the name and curriculum contents may change.
