Aanbieding 1 met studiegidsnummer 4023573DNR voor alle studenten in het 1e semester met een inleidend master niveau.
This course is designed to equip students with skills required to build a successful career in today’s applied computer science and engineering environments, including problem-solving, organization, teamwork, and active listening. The students will 1) learn how applied computer science, data science and artificial intelligence (AI) is applied in modern industry; 2) upgrade their soft skills by interacting in groups with industry experts and alumni; and 3) develop their writing and presentation skills by putting together and defending a work-plan -- in the form of a research proposal or statement of work -- related to applying computer science, data science and/or AI to address an industry related problem.
The course draws on a variety of teaching methods:
At the end of this course, the student will have developed a knowledge and understanding in how computer science, data science and AI can be applied in industry. The student will be able to formulate R&D questions and write a proposal or statement of work as well as assess such questions and proposals from peers. By working in a group towards preparing a proposal and presentation (as well as the evaluation of them) and through interactions with experts, the student will build soft skills necessary in today’s industrial and research environments.
