NUvention: AI Analytics
NUvention: AI Analytics (ENTREP 475) focuses on the intersection between software (AI), hardware (IoT), data (analytics), and business (entrepreneurship). The course is a unique opportunity for passionate students and future entrepreneurs to journey through the formation of a commercial technology startup. The course is designed to expose students to all aspects of creating a technology start-up, covering a wide range of topics in AI, IoT, data analytics, IT infrastructure, cyber security, and business development. Students will develop AI technologies that leverage computer vision, natural language processing, and machine learning to build smart IoT devices, cloud infrastructure, process real-time data, and produce analytics applications.
This course is designed for anyone who wants to understand first-hand the process of launching a new venture in AI Analytics. While this course obviously fits the “ready to go” entrepreneur who is looking to launch a startup or join one in the near future, it is also a good course for those who are simply curious to learn about entrepreneurship, or those looking to join a startup. This course will give you a solid understanding of what it takes to launch a new venture and a common language to use in entrepreneurial endeavors in the future.
