伟德国际与卡迪夫大学合作开设的暑期全英文课程《人工智能和深度学习导论》于2022年8月2日至8月9日顺利举行,本次授课为该课程第二次开课。课程每天17:00-19:00以线上教学模式开展授课,授课对象主要为公司2020级和2021级本科生。英国卡迪夫大学电气工程学院Yulia Hicks教授担任本课程主讲教师,公司张国忠教授组建助教团队负责学业辅导以及教学管理,学院共有32名本科生参与学习。
在持续8天共计16学时的课程学习中,Yulia教授精心准备授课内容,合理安排课程进度,给员工们呈现了一门精彩纷呈的全英文课程。课程开始时Yulia老师亲切地问大家她的语速如何,课程中间Yulia老师总是耐心地解答员工们的各种问题,课程后Yulia老师又及时联系助教安排当天的作业,并转发次日上课用的课件,她的认真专注让全体选课员工都印象深刻。
参加该课程的同学们都对人工智能、AI算法、MATLAB应用有了更加深刻的理解和认识。机械2105班许信炜同学表示:“虽然是网课,但是老师的专业耐心和认真负责,让我在家也能得到不差于线下学习的效果。”自动化2001班于欣然同学也谈到:“虽然感觉人工智能距离自己的学习认知水平还相差甚远,但是早就与人们的日常生活息息相关了,现在的学习为自己以后的研究打下了坚实的基础。
