Systematize and acquire through project-type learning and practice

　However, data processing called the upstream process cannot be created without knowing the downstream process.Nippon Institute of Technology provides an opportunity to learn about the system that provides services to customers and users, such as service engineering and management information, that is, the value-added service, through project-based learning (PBL).

　Just as the Department of Information Media Engineering has compulsory to carry out PBL training courses that develop systems at the request of NPO corporations, local special needs schools, governments, etc., the Department of Data Science also meets the needs of customers in the third grade. In addition, we will process it as useful information and arrange practical training courses to experience the work of building a business model in PBL as a compulsory subject.By doing so, it is a flow to systematize and acquire from the upstream to the downstream process.

　Also, in the graduation research, you will actually experience the handling of personal information using actual data and the handling of data while observing various legal regulations.Currently, the themes being researched as data science in the Faculty of Advanced Engineering include social issues such as environmental conservation, evacuation route guidance in the event of a tsunami, long-term care, and rehabilitation.In such cases, it is not always possible to obtain sufficient data to solve the problem, and in many cases, only very limited data can be obtained.

　In that case, long-term care and rehabilitation may be trained and directly entered the site.This is the work necessary to know the correct state from insufficient data and extract useful information.There are many such fields in the world.It happens only occasionally, data is socially significant even if it is small, and it is an important role of data science to reflect it in the system, and dealing with big data is not the only data science.

　Many of the students who studied data science in the predecessor Department of Information Media Engineering are employed in data handling companies and internet service companies, but there are a wide variety of industries, from manufacturers to service industries.

　If you acquire data science technology, including data processing, you will have more options in the future, such as playing an active role in various companies regardless of industry and working on solving social issues.

　If the data scientists don't work behind the scenes, the world won't go around, and the information they provide has the creative side of creating new jobs.There is no doubt that the role played by data scientists in solving various social issues and revitalizing economic activities will become even more important in the future.
