1 century 10 years of overseas study, artificial intelligence has become a upstart.
According to the latest data from the Ministry of Education, in 2065, the number of students studying abroad in China exceeded 600,000 for the first time, which was 438+065,438+0.74% year-on-year, maintaining the status of the largest source country of international students in the world. Applying to foreign universities has become another choice for more and more candidates and parents besides the college entrance examination.
At the same time, the admission rate of college entrance examination remains high. In 20 17, the admission rate of Shandong college entrance examination was 84.95%, up by 2.8 percentage points over the previous year. In 20 17, Jiangsu enrolled 303,400 freshmen of all kinds, with a total admission rate of 9 1.9 1%, all of which reached record highs. Compared with the past, the college entrance examination is no longer unattainable, and "how to get into a good university" is the focus of most people's attention.
Compared with the past, the professional setting in this period is also obviously different. A number of emerging majors such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, big data and network security have begun to enter people's field of vision. The demand for artificial intelligence-related professionals has soared, and the salary has also risen. The surge in market demand has also prompted more and more universities to connect with enterprises, and then began to explore and cultivate talent training models that adapt to the development of enterprises and society.
Taking the major of artificial intelligence as an example, in March this year, Nanjing University issued a document to formally establish the Institute of Artificial Intelligence, which once attracted wide attention from all walks of life. According to statistics, there are more than 30 universities related to artificial intelligence in China. However, the layout of artificial intelligence related majors in colleges and universities only started in the past two years, and it is a new major.
38 universities in China began to recruit students majoring in artificial intelligence.
Teachers from Zhejiang University, China University of Science and Technology, Shanghai Jiaotong University and Hangzhou Dianzi University have learned that this year, many key universities will offer artificial intelligence majors.
Professor Wu Fei, director of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of Zhejiang University, said that artificial intelligence has been very popular in recent two years, but before that, no universities in China offered artificial intelligence specialty at undergraduate level (only Carnegie Mellon University in the United States opened artificial intelligence specialty from 2065438 to September 2008).
This year, there are 38 985, 2 1 1 colleges and universities in China, which have begun to recruit students majoring in artificial intelligence. These 38 institutions are Beihang University, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Sichuan University, Chongqing University, Wuhan University, Xi Jiaotong University, Nanjing University, Tongji University and Shandong University.
In addition, artificial intelligence is closely integrated with informatics, computer science and technology, control science, software engineering, statistical mathematics and other disciplines, which is convenient for those who study these majors to transfer to artificial intelligence research or study in the future.
Zhejiang University will start to recruit undergraduates majoring in artificial intelligence in 20 19, and set up in the Computer College. Computer College is the fist college of Zhejiang University, and the admission score will not be low.
The annual salary is 500 thousand. How much does an artificial intelligence researcher earn?
On many recruitment websites in China, the position of "artificial intelligence researcher" has a monthly salary of 40 thousand, which is really enviable.
Mr. Lu, chief technology officer of an Internet company in Hangzhou, said that the annual salary of 500,000 yuan is still normal. "Artificial intelligence researchers, many of them are very talented people trained by well-known enterprises themselves, and their annual salary is normal. Maybe in a few years, there will be more such people. "
There are more than 80 universities in China offering robot engineering.
Professor Xiong Rong, the instructor of the robot soccer team of Zhejiang University, said: "Robot engineering is a multi-dimensional interdisciplinary subject, which is related to all majors. The structure of robot needs to be completed by mechanical specialty, the internal circuit involves electrical specialty, motion system control and sensing planning are related to control specialty, artificial intelligence needs students majoring in computer, and materials science, mechanics and other similar majors are also closely related to robot engineering. Therefore, studying these majors can lay the foundation for students to further develop robot research. "
