Project ID: 101082478

Objective:

EmbeddedAI aims at enhancing the skill set for modelling, design and analysis of artificial intelligence on embedded systems for engineers by strengthening the Nigerian Higher Education (HE) training and curricula with state-of-the-art European standards and technologies. The project aims to strengthen the links between university-enterprise cooperation, entrepreneurship and employability of graduates in Nigeria and encourage the culture of practice-oriented and industry-motivated training in Nigeria HE systems that are historically more theoretically oriented. The project aims to establish and align study programs for a Master of Science in Embedded Artificial Intelligence to facilitate entrepreneurship opportunities and serve the Nigerian industry. EmbeddedAI includes mainly activities such as the development of the embedded AI pedagogy, mapping the requirements and the courses with the bologna system, course development and development of the hands-on lab, activities towards the accreditation of the master's program, knowledge transfer for both technical and industrial skills, and the dissemination to industry and scientific communities. Embedded AI targets multiple groups, including academia, HE staff, students, industry, and Small and medium-sized enterprises. EmbeddedAI targets the 25 million unemployed graduates in Nigeria since the program is designed to integrate embedded artificial intelligence designs in diverse fields such as agriculture, medicine, telecommunication, e.t.c. It is expected to obtain tangible results, including a masters program in embedded artificial intelligence course development and implementation integrated into Nigerian engineering studies, a sustainability plan, and a monitoring report to provide a sustainable integration of the proposed curriculum in the Nigerian educational system.
