Science (Group A) with Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence International Research Enrichment (IRE) Science (Group A) with Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence (SSCI-A (AI)) is designed for science students seeking both in-depth knowledge across science fields and a strong understanding of innovative applications of AI within their major areas. The world is changing fast, and AI has come to define society today in ways we never anticipated. Knowledge about AI is a perfect complement to science subjects by integrating mathematical rigor and essential tools to achieve synergy. The pioneering SSCI-A (AI) program is designed to prepare our students for new opportunities and challenges. The curriculum is cross-disciplinary and practical, and students have the opportunity to gain a strong foundation in one of the three relevant major science subjects as well as understand the innovative applications of AI in their major areas. In addition, students gain cross-disciplinary problem-solving skills and professional insights through a Design Thinking course and Professional Seminars in AI. Moreover, supported by industry sponsorship, the Capstone Project+ enables students to gain handson experience applying AI to real-world problems. Students are expected to take approximately one additional course per semester throughout the four years. Upon satisfactory completion, students are awarded a “BSc in (Mathematics / Physics / Ocean Science and Technology) with Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence”. The International Research Enrichment (IRE) program is designed for those students who are interested in either pursuing a research career in science or broadening their exposure to research during their undergraduate studies. It emphasizes curiosity and grit, which are essential attributes that define a successful career in scientific research. The curriculum structure of the IRE program is similar to that of the Science (Group A) and Science (Group B) programs. However, the IRE program distinguishes itself from these regular science programs by providing students with the following: • Free choice of major programs among Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Ocean Science and Technology, and Physics • Participation in advanced research projects under the supervision of world-class professors • Opportunities to meet Nobel Laureates and renowned scientists • Individualized research guidance and mentoring from experienced faculty members • Participation in the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) to gain hands-on research experience • Exchange and internship opportunities in renowned foreign universities/ research institutes - Summer research internship opportunities in foreign universities and institutions - Scholarship support for overseas learning trips Student Sharing I got my first taste of research from a UROP in Year 2. Also, an exchange study in Korea and IRE research internship in Japan provided me with experience of research life in different cultures. The Capstone Project further sharpened my experimental skills. These experiences built a strong foundation for my subsequent MPhil and PhD research. 08 09
