Science (Group A) with an Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence 理學Ａ組– 延伸主修人工智能
SSCI-A (AI)
Short Description
The Science (Group A) with an Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence program (JS5181) is designed for science students who want to gain solid knowledge in Science disciplines PLUS innovative applications of AI in their major areas.
The world is changing fast; artificial intelligence (AI) has come to define society today in ways we never anticipated. Examples include robotics, autonomous vehicles, intelligent sensors and complicated data analysis. The knowledge of AI can be a very good supplement to science subjects, which requires strong mathematical sense and relevant tools to achieve synergy. The other way round, scientific background can help build better AI in different subject areas. Understanding the key trends will allow people and businesses to prepare and grasp the opportunities, companies and individuals that do not keep up with some of the major tech trends run the risk of being left behind. To promptly equip our students for this challenge, the pioneering Science (Group A) with an Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence (SSCI-A (AI)) program is designed as an extended major to enrich major study in four relevant science subjects (Mathematics / Physics / Ocean Science and Technology / Data Science and Technology) with cross-disciplinary AI technology applications.
One important feature of the SSCI-A (AI) program is that students need not invest four years to study an emerging technology area. Our flexible approach allows students from the SSCI-A (AI) program to learn the best of AI when it is in the climax of development. They are guaranteed the study of AI at the time of admissions. The curriculum is cross-disciplinary and practical. They will learn solid knowledge in one of the three relevant major science subjects PLUS innovative application of AI in their major areas. In addition, students will gain cross-disciplinary problem-solving skills and professional insights through a Design Thinking course and Professional Seminars in AI. The Capstone Project+, with strong AI components and sponsorship from industry, enables students to practice AI applications on real world problems. Students should expect to take, approximately one additional course per term throughout four years. Upon satisfactory completion, students will earn a BSc in Mathematics / Physics / Ocean Science and Technology / Data Science and Technology with an Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence.
The knowledge of AI, together with cross-disciplinary problem-solving skills, will provide students with a competitive edge in the job market. These students are more self-motivated and open-minded in new findings and these attributes are essential and appreciated by most employers. Students will enjoy career opportunities relevant to their majors, in industries and businesses that are empowered by AI. Careers include Machine Learning Modellers / Consultants, AI Associates in Bank, Deep Learning Scientist, Data Analysts, AI Algorithm Engineer, Environmental Consultants, etc.
Remarks:
Students can apply for the SSCI-A (AI) program through the direct choice in JUPAS, or apply for transfer from the regular Science (Group A) program after their first year of study. Students interested in SSCI-A (AI) program are encouraged to include both the SSCI-A (AI) program (JS5181), and the Science (Group A) program (JS5102) in their JUPAS program choices.
