Shanghai launches large Data talent training program first Engineering master Enrollment June

June 12, the reporter learned from the Shanghai Science and Technology Commission, "Data science and large Data talent training program" has been officially launched, will be in the next 3 years to cultivate and introduce thousands of high-end data talent. The first batch of major data engineering students will be enrolled in June this year, September admission.

The first batch of the training program launched a master of data engineering, data scientists training camp and data Science fist three projects, followed by 6 training projects such as youth data scientists, PhD in Data Science, master of Data Science, master of Data Science, and second degree in Data science. "The big data age has come and even experts believe that all science is turning into data science." But there is a lack of talent in the market for in-depth data analysis. "The main head of the program, Zhu Yangyang, director of the Shanghai Data Science Laboratory (Fudan University), said that according to McKinsey's consulting forecasts, by 2018, only the U.S. local large data talent gap of more than 140,000, at the same time, through the analysis of large data and make effective decisions for enterprises, the talent gap will be

In recent years, countries in the world have set up data scientific research institutions, universities have set up relevant colleges to train talent. A master's degree in Data science has been set up since 2013 in New York University and the University of Dundee in the United States, and Columbia University will set up a Ph. D. from 2015. At home, since 2008, the Chinese University of Hong Kong has set up a master's degree in Science in data science business statistics, and Tsinghua University has recently set up a Data science research institute, which has been recruiting postgraduate students since September, and has set up a data science center in XI ' an Jiaotong University, Zhejiang College and ECNU.

Zhu Yangyang Introduction, his laboratory is an important component and technical support base for the three-year plan of action for large data research and development in Shanghai, and is an open platform for data science research. The major data engineering master project to be launched will be to integrate academic and industry-related advantage resources in the field of data science, Training students in large data management and analysis practice, training large data engineers and data science and technology application scientists, two years of schooling, weekend classes, a Master of engineering degree; Data scientists training camp through a short period of intensive access to data scientists should have the basic knowledge to enable students to enter the data scientists team , and the Data Science Fist course will employ overseas professors to teach the data science and large data management technology two postgraduate open courses.
