BachelorProgram Profile
The rapid development of information technology and industrial revolution triggers strong strategic competition between different countries in AI. As an international base of electronic industries, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay ares harbours huge demands for AI-related talents. The program of Artificial Intelligence takes advantage of the local industrial resources in electrics and information, pivots around industrial needs to develop an interdisciplinary education approach. With an eye on the latest of the industry and introducing innovation from industry into university, we aim to build a channel between talent-cultivation and industrial knowledge creation. Through the provision of rich experiment courses and hands-on practice courses, we are dedicated to producing top talents with innovation skills and global outlook that caters to the needs of future AI technology developments. The curriculum system of this program emphasizes solid math foundation (with course such as Calculus, Linear Algebra, Mathematical Statics, etc.) and computational sills (with course such as Data Structure, Programming Fundamentals, etc.). With these foundations, we then add AI theory and technology courses (such as Machine Learning, Deep Learning, etc.) and on top of that, provide intelligent hardware and inter-disciplinary courses (such as Circuit Analysis and Electronic Circuits, Digital Logic Circuits, Intelligent Hardware and Interactive Design, AI Chip Design, etc.). This program involves courses that introduce rich theoretical knowledge and technical methods in natural science, engineering technology, and information technology. With particular focus on industrial needs and emphasis on an inter-disciplinary approach, we are constantly deepening the industry-university link. Upon graduation, students can choose between pursuing master or doctoral level study and finding technical and managerial jobs in AI+ industries, such as smart healthcare, smart education, smart finance, smart life, smart transportation, smart cities, and smart transportation.
