'Data Science and Big Data Technology'
New professional high frequency words in Guangdong universities
Three years ago, the State Council issued the "Circular on Issuing Action Plan for the Promotion of Big Data Development", explicitly encouraging universities to set up data science and data engineering related majors, and focusing on cultivating specialized data engineers and other big data professionals.
The "Circular on Announcement of the Results of the Filing and Examination of Undergraduate Programs for Regular Colleges and Universities in 2017" issued by the Ministry of Education in March this year shows that among the more than 2,000 undergraduate majors in universities across the country, the number of professional majors in 'Data Science and Big Data Technology' has increased significantly. There are about 250 colleges and universities for the record.
In Guangdong, the profession has also become the most frequent new profession. Including South China University of Technology, Guangdong University of Technology, Guangzhou University, Shantou University, Guangdong University of Finance and Economics, Beijing Institute of Technology, Zhuhai College, Guangzhou University, China University of Software and Software, and more than a dozen colleges and universities , have added this specialty.
Increased number of new engineering students
This year, major universities and colleges in Guangdong have also devoted great efforts to the layout of the 'new engineering section.' Many universities have increased the proportion of 'science and engineering' schools, and many new additions have been placed on 'new engineering' majors.
For example, CUHK has added three new professional aerospace projects, cyberspace security, and ocean engineering and technology this year. The Shenzhen campus of Sun Yat-sen University will focus on the layout of 'new engineering' and medical science to serve the development of strategic emerging industries in Shenzhen. It is one of the new engineering departments of the campus.
The Chinese laborer has also made professional optimization in the 'New Engineering' enrollment this year. The school's mechanical and electrical engineering, marine and marine engineering, energy and power engineering, information engineering, electronic science and technology, intelligent science and technology, optoelectronics information science and Engineering, biomedical engineering, biopharmaceuticals, energy chemistry engineering, information management and information systems, information security and other professional are all related to the new engineering major.
Jinan University also actively implemented the 'artificial intelligence' national strategy, adding new enrollment in intelligent science and technology. It recruited 30 people this year. This reporter learned that 240 people have been recruited this year, mainly in science and engineering.
The University of Guangzhou is also making great efforts to strengthen the construction of new engineering disciplines. While strengthening the upgrading of the original science and engineering majors, it has also stepped up the professional construction of 'Internet of things projects' and 'robot engineering', and continued to expand the enrollment of science and engineering majors. This year, the proportion of science and engineering majors, and the proportion of students enrolled in science and engineering majors have all exceeded 50%.
Looking around the country, as of December 2017, a total of 71 colleges and universities across the country have set up 86 secondary disciplines or interdisciplines in the field of artificial intelligence. The Ministry of Education identified the first batch of 612 'New Engineering' research and practice projects in 2018, of which approximately 57 personal intelligent project.
