Teaching & Learning methods
Teaching does not start from theory and technology, but from challenging assignments. Real challenges make learning motivating, help to get your organization involved, and are a catalyst to achieving real impact. During the program, you complete three CRISP-DM data-science and AI projects:
- A stylized team assignment in the Foundation program.
- A complex and realistic group assignment, supported by technical experts and the Community Directors in the Level 1 program.
- A substantial project in your own organization, supervised and supported by JADS and EAISI experts, and delivering real impact and creating value for the organization (Level 2 program).
Things you will like
- The JADS and EAISI Community: Upon entering the program as from level 1, you will be part of the JADS and EAISI Community of companies, students, startups, professionals, NGOs and academic staff, who all have a passion for Data Science and AI. We organize network events, inspirational talks and many other activities. It’s also a market for finding business partners and expert help for data and AI challenges. The Community embodies our belief in the importance of life-long learning.
- The Mariënburg, a former convent in the historical center of Den Bosch, is JADS’s home. It’s a welcoming, inspirational and atmospheric environment for life-long learning, with the former chapel functioning as the main auditorium, and the vast complex offering many surprising authentic details reminiscent of its former function. EAISI is moving to a new building in the heart of the TU/e campus that will be the vibrant focal point of all of TU/e’s Data Science and AI education and research. This will be the home of students, staff, researchers, practitioners, start-ups, scale-ups, established growing companies, and industry giants who all share a passion for Data Science and AI.
What we believe in…
Data-science and AI experts are T-shaped professionals!
The T shape visualizes the idea that a successful career is based on the combination of deep technical expertise (the vertical bar) and wide and broad boundary-crossing skills (the horizontal bar).
Data-science and AI experts master the technical skills of machine learning and data engineering, and know how to build, evaluate, and deploy data-science and AI applications. They can translate a business opportunity into a data-science and AI problem, apply the data-analytic workflow to develop a model, and test and implement it in a Python environment.
Data-science and AI experts are also business savvy, understand how business models and strategies work, are able to manage data-science and AI projects delivering results, and in general, know what it takes to get things done in large and complex organizations.
Data science and AI are changing what organizations do
Data-science and AI applications in professional organizations range from initiatives to make current processes and services more efficient. Common applications are in smart maintenance, product design, production planning, logistics planning, product and reliability improvement, anomaly detection and early warning systems. But organizations should also think beyond the horizon of current products and services, as data science and AI are creating important opportunities to augment products with new value based on analytics-driven services, and in the long run are the basis for new, data-driven business models.
