The is supporting a collaborative project between Concordia Continuing Education and ÆßÐDzʿª½± to develop experiential learning opportunities for students interested in AI. This call is to recruit ÆßÐDzʿª½± students for experiential learning (EL) opportunities offered as internships that will take place from March 1 to May 5, 2023. The goal of this pilot, supported through the , is to provide different cross-disciplinary projects for 30+ students working together in teams. Students will be prepared with some training in Python and AI research methods and be guided through the preparatory process in a series of workshops.
After preparation and team formation, students will be onboarded into research groups and guided under the supervision of graduate students and professors, and will have the chance to apply their skills to real-world challenges. The projects will focus on various areas of research including bioinformatics, cybersecurity, supply chain management, water distribution systems, climate governance and others.
The timeline of the internships is as follows:
- February-March 1: Recruitment, team formation and preparation with workshops
- March 1-March 10: Onboarding into research groups
- March 10-May 5: Internships with Applied AI Institute. Note that students will be expected to have between 60-80 hours of contact time with their research groups. The internships are designed to concentrate many of these hours during the ÆßÐDzʿª½± study break to allow for flexible contact hours subsequently
- May 5-May 12: Students will be led through reporting and outcome opportunities and present projects.
Note: Students may also be interested in participating in the AI Launch Lab Winter 2023 cohort for college students taking place concurrently. Opportunities exist to connect both experiences as a project.
