Training AI human resources to solve social issues."Introduction to Data Science and AI" to acquire a highly versatile framework will be compulsory from 2022 across faculties and departments

 

 At Nippon Institute of Technology, "Introduction to Data Science and AI," which is an elective course that crosses faculties and departments, is now compulsory from 2022.The purpose of this course is to understand the outline of Society 5.0 and to acquire the basics of its core technologies, data science and AI (artificial intelligence), through lectures and exercises.

 The school advocates "engineering education based on the idea of ​​actual engineering" in the spirit of its founding, and advocates education and research with the goal of being utilized in society, not research for research. "Introduction to Data Science and AI" is also handled by practitioner faculty members who have been involved in research and development at leading Japanese companies and research institutes, and lesson plans are created in accordance with this spirit.

 Even if you study data signence and AI (artificial intelligence) at university, you still tend to learn each elemental technology. For example, if you are a robot, you will study only robots, and if you are AI, you will study only AI, but that is Society. What is your position in 5.0?What is it actually used for?In many cases, the goal is to acquire the technology itself without reaching that level.

 However, recently, with the advent of the new coronavirus, we can measure the density at a certain point from the huge amount of mobile information of mobile phones and call attention in the news, or use specific wording from paper data existing all over the world. By extracting the virus, it is becoming a reality to search for various clues to solve the problem.In this way, it is clear to everyone that not only learning data science and AI, but also how to utilize them in society is becoming more important.

 Therefore, as for how to learn, after talking about the framework for utilizing data science and AI, for example, what to do with robots and what to do with information technology, what I learned directly to society Not tied.Unlike conventional technology acquisition, what is required in society is not only technology but also comprehensive skills including how to utilize it, and now learning at university is forced to change. It is.

 This subject has a lesson plan that reflects these changes in the times, and if you are not afraid of misunderstanding, apart from the technical details, it is accumulated so that even junior high school students can understand the outline. One of its strengths is its easy-to-understand tailoring that brings out the whole picture in the formula.

"New era of actual engineering" Education that changes, philosophy that does not change

Nippon Institute of Technology, which opened in 1967, is developing its own "practical engineering" learning, such as taking specialized experiments, practical training, and drafting subjects from the first year.Currently, the Faculty of Core Engineering, the Faculty of Advanced Engineering, and the Faculty of Architecture are organized into 3 faculties, 7 departments, and 2 courses, and inherit and develop traditional practical engineering education.Looking to further deepen practical engineering education […]
