Abstract
Japanese government has announced its "AI Strategy" and called on each university to establish a system that allows students, regardless of whether they are liberal arts or science majors, to receive elementary education in AI. In response to this demand, the Center for AI and Data Science Education and Development was established at the Hiroshima Institute of Technology, and we prepared teaching materials for the university-wide first-year course to introduce the basis of AI and data science under this center. Specifically, we set the goals of this class, examined the content, prepared reference materials, and provided support to the lecturers. In addition, we designed an evaluation method for learning effects and conducted a simple analysis of learning effects. As a result of analyzing the learning effects, we confirmed that we were able to provide education that allowed the students to grasp the basic technical principles of AI. We also confirmed that it was useful in motivating students to learn about the mathematics.
