Program
I. Acquisition of Foundational and Theoretical Knowledge (Technological Focus)
1. Understanding of Digital Transformation (Driven by AI): Promote a robust theoretical framework, focusing on emerging technologies that drive Digital Transformation, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI) and information processing technologies (according to The Future of Jobs Report, from World Economic Forum, 86% of employers expect to transform their businesses by 2030).
2. Exploration of High-Impact Technologies: Introduce and analyze technologies that will shape the future of work, such as AI, IoT, blockchain, robotics and autonomous systems (expected to transform 58% of businesses) and energy generation, storage, and distribution (expected to transform 41% of businesses).
II. Development of Technical and Analytical Skills
3. Development of AI and Big Data Skills: Train participants in AI and Big Data technology skills, which top the list of fastest-growing skills in the job market.
4. Fostering Cybersecurity and Technology Skills: Develop technological literacy and an understanding of networks and cybersecurity, the second fastest-growing skill, which is crucial given the prevalence of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing.
III. Integration of Sustainability and Business Context (Practical Applications and visits to companies)
5. Creating Sustainable Solutions with Emerging Technologies: Empower students to use emerging technologies (such as blockchain and data analytics) to address challenges and develop sustainable solutions, integrating the sustainability mindset with the growing demand for green jobs in the labor market, including those driven by energy and robotics technologies.
6. Connecting Theory and Practice and Innovation: Linking the theoretical knowledge from virtual sessions with real-world approaches through project-based learning and visits to companies and innovation centers, presenting projects and innovations from partner companies.
IV. Collaboration and Multimedia Creation (Social-Emotional and Communication Skills)
7. Strengthening Critical and Creative Thinking Skills: Improve problem-solving abilities and analytical and critical thinking skills, which remain among the most sought-after skills by employers, with analytical thinking being the most sought-after core skill and creative thinking one of those expected to grow in importance.
8. Promotion of International Collaboration and Diversity: Encourage collaboration among students from different partner universities in at least five countries to address real-world problems and promote diversity and inclusion.
9. Content Development and Communication: Develop the ability to synthesize and communicate complex topics by creating a road movie about emerging technologies and sustainability.
The focus on AI and information technologies, robotics, and energy technologies, in particular, aligns the program to be robust and prepare students with the main forces of transformation predicted in the labor market for 2030.
