In 2021, Sun Yat-sen University and Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. jointly launched the “Smart Base” industry-education integration and collaborative talent development program, aiming to develop a digital intelligence education system aligned with industry needs and accommodating students from diverse academic backgrounds. This program adheres to the principles of “general education + specialization,” “theory + practice,” and “interdisciplinary integration + innovation” in designing a multi-tiered, multidimensional curriculum. The curriculum is structured into five categories: general courses, foundational courses, core courses, experimental and practical courses, and applied courses. This structure spans the entire spectrum from theory to practice, including basic AI knowledge, specific technological applications, and hands-on experience. General courses such as “Introduction to Artificial Intelligence” and “Data Security and Privacy Protection” are open to all students, aiming to disseminate basic concepts and ethical principles in the digital intelligence era. Foundational courses delve into specialized areas like machine learning and data mining, providing students with a solid theoretical foundation. Core courses focus on cutting-edge technologies such as deep learning and pattern recognition. Experimental and practical courses, like programming and AI practices, allow students to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios. Applied courses, such as “Robot Operating System (ROS) and Applications” and “IoT Technology and Applications,” guide students in fostering innovative thinking and using their knowledge to solve complex real-world problems. This program has successfully developed 85 courses that incorporate Huawei’s cutting-edge technologies including Kunpeng, Ascend, and Huawei Cloud, allowing students to engage with the latest industry advancements.
