Training Professionals in SW with Sangmyung University and Elastic
By Eugene Ha, Editor
Do you know Sangmyung University SW-centered University Business Group? It was selected as the SW-centered university project promoted by the Institute for Information & Communication Technology Planning & Evaluation (IITP) of the Ministry of Science and ICT in September 2019 and aims to foster talent to lead the new world that AI will bring. They are opening several programs so that all students can utilize SW and AI capabilities to demonstrate these capabilities in their major fields. Earlier this year, 'Elastic Engineer Training' was also established in the university's education program. Let's find out how to train SW professionals with Elastic, and what SW-related programs have been launched this year in the university.
Sangmyung University SW-centered University Business Group
Sangmyung University's SW-centered university project group was selected as the SW-centered university project by the Ministry of Science and ICT's Information and Communication Planning Evaluation (IITP) in September 2019 and is conducting SW-based, core, and convergence education with the goal of fostering talent to lead the new world. Before being selected for the project, Sangmyung University decided to establish a "SW Convergence Department" in February 2019 to foster new SW talent that will lead the future of convergence of SW, humanities and arts. The SW Convergence Department included the Department of Computer Science, Human Intelligence Information Engineering, and Game, and established an animation department to achieve game and synergy. Since it was selected as a SW-centered university with the aim of fostering AI talent in September 2019, it will be able to provide more advanced AI education and AI convergence education to students of the SW Convergence Department.
Business Group Training Program
According to the educational structure, the SW Convergence Department has been launched to operate an efficient curriculum. It has launched an AI-majoring track and is conducting artificial intelligence education together. The hands-on environment presents educational and hands-on spaces. It has been built so that students can use the equipment freely. Not only majors but also non-majors are allowed to attend the curriculum, and education is being conducted in a different way. In addition, there are programs to support start-ups, SW camps, special lectures, and seminar competitions.
Sangmyung University signed an agreement with Elastic's Korean branch in October last year. Elastic is a global leader in open-source-based real-time search and analysis, and it provides a variety of big data contents based on its excellent technology, high performance, and convenience of development. It is known that Elastic is currently using solutions from startups such as △ Microsoft△ Uber△NETFLIX△POSCO to the 2,000 largest global companies.
Through this agreement, the agency decided to establish a cooperative system and cooperate on △ human resources exchange △ human resources exchange △ academic, technical, information exchange and sharing △ joint projects and programs △ research △ education and mentoring.
Based on this cooperation, the two organizations are making efforts to train SW experts, and I will introduce one of the programs, "Elastic Engineer Training."
The program, which started in February and ended in August, was scheduled to select and educate about 30 people at the time of the plan, but more than 100 people gathered. Recently, many SW talents are needed enough to be called the "developer boom," and many people have jumped into SW education through this program.
Elastic Stack basic training and Elastic Machine Learning were conducted online and offline. The training was completed by 59 out of 91 participants, and 21 out of 59 graduates were selected to conduct a team project in which Elastic officials participated as team mentors.
Students who participated in the project selected various topics related to social tasks, such as integrated information on parks and sports equipment in the Seoul metropolitan area, and analyzed consumption patterns by time, age, and region using ELK Stack to provide marketing strategies.
In addition, the "Mentoring Day" of Elastic engineer training was held to provide consultations and advice on what students would notice and prepare to become future engineers with Elastic's strategic partners.
While software is becoming important, it is actually difficult for non-professionals to use it. We will now be able to use this easily because the school has a system for non-professional students to receive education. I hope that students will have a chance to develop convergence capabilities and think more about their careers.
