Educational Goals and Educational Content

Dongseo University's Department of Artificial Intelligence Applications is designed to cater to students, even those without prior experience in mathematics or coding, by providing a curriculum that starts from the fundamentals.

The curriculum begins with software courses covering mobile apps, web development, and general software, prioritizing practical application over delving deeply into theoretical aspects of artificial intelligence. Following this, hardware courses encompassing the Internet of Things (IoT) and embedded systems are offered. The focus shifts to intelligent data processing from sources such as Social Networks (SNS) or the Internet of Things.

Our approach is to equip students with a solid foundation in both software and hardware, enabling them to pursue general IT jobs not necessarily tied to artificial intelligence. Subsequently, we provide training using open source and open API to facilitate the seamless integration of artificial intelligence into real-world applications through hands-on experience. Our overarching goal is to nurture individuals capable of creating innovative IT convergence services in our hyper-connected society.

Software Training

The Department of Artificial Intelligence Applications is dedicated to providing foundational software development skills to students in the early stages of their academic journey. Basic programming courses are structured to empower students with the capacity to develop fundamental software.

In courses focused on mobile app programming, students will gain proficiency in creating applications akin to KakaoTalk. Additionally, through web programming and web server programming courses, students will learn the skills necessary to develop web pages resembling those found on platforms like Naver. By completing these courses, students will acquire the expertise needed to independently undertake such development tasks.

Internet of Things/Hardware Education

Following the acquisition of software development capabilities, our curriculum offers training to develop fundamental skills in IoT (Internet of Things) and hardware. We recognize the commencement of the 4th Industrial Revolution as a period characterized by the widespread adoption of the Internet of Things, where interconnectedness extends beyond people to include devices and their interaction.

In practical terms, IoT manifests itself in scenarios such as a bed connected to interior lighting, allowing the bed to autonomously recognize whether a person is sleeping and subsequently turn off the lights. Another example is a self-driving car linked to a traffic control system through a network, receiving real-time data about traffic conditions before initiating a journey.

To excel in IoT, foundational knowledge in hardware and embedded software is essential. While workplaces like Kakao and Naver primarily involve software, it is crucial to understand that software plays a significant role in traditional industries such as aircraft, automobiles, and shipbuilding. In these sectors, more than 50% of production costs are allocated to software development, particularly embedded software that is intricately linked to hardware.

The Department of Artificial Intelligence Applications is committed to instructing students in the essentials of the Internet of Things, hardware, and embedded software.

Artificial Intelligence/Big Data Education

Artificial intelligence, once considered a specialized technology, has evolved into a pervasive force applied across diverse industries. Recognizing its widespread application, both government and industry stakeholders are advocating for early education in artificial intelligence.

Why has artificial intelligence become such a hot topic?

In contemporary times, an immense volume of data is continuously generated through Social Networks (SNS), the Internet of Things, and various digital devices. Intelligent processing of this data facilitates the analysis of human preferences, behaviors, diseases, finance, stocks, device errors, crime, and more. This ability enables the prediction of accidents, trial outcomes, and other critical events, offering the potential for significant profits. Moreover, the automation of numerous fields becomes feasible.

For instance, in the semiconductor industry, Samsung Electronics is increasingly hiring professionals skilled in data analysis for semiconductor factories, emphasizing the growing importance of this skill set over traditional semiconductor design roles.

Dongseo University's Department of Artificial Intelligence Applications is at the forefront of teaching intelligent processing of big data using artificial intelligence, integrating practical work and projects into the curriculum.
