As 2021 winds down, predictions for 2022 are already ramping up. Unsurprisingly, big data and artificial intelligence lie at the heart of many forecasts; a fact that holds true for higher education. Our soon-to-be-released trend report highlights five areas of focus where universities are concerned:
Here’s a quick overview of the first two trends on that list.
Big data just keeps getting bigger. Consequently, hiring demand in data-driven careers is on the rise as well. In 2022, more universities will pivot to address the need. The number of universities offering data science degrees is already climbing and the upward trajectory will continue, with broadening degree tracks to support the ever-widening applications for artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics.
What’s more, universities already offering degree programs will rework offerings to allow students without a computer science background to develop the skills needed to leverage big data in the future. As the KDnuggets™ blog points out, “AI is now a mainstream discipline. It is not a research niche anymore, but more and more segments of the data analytics society are claiming an access to it.” The writing is on the wall: Regardless of students’ academic focus, understanding how to draw insights from data and communicate them effectively will empower students when they move on to careers in business, engineering, healthcare, and other organizations.
According to KDnuggets, Python is primed to knock R from its perch as the top programming language. Not only is Python considered more user friendly for coding and readability, KDnuggets says, “Unlike R, which is used primarily for statistical computing and graphics, Python can be readily deployed for machine learning as it collects and analyzes data on a deeper level than its predecessors.”
Nexis Data Lab is one such tool for academic research. Students enjoy access to the same valuable news content in our academic research platform Nexis Uni®, but within a Jupyter notebook environment that facilitates data science experimentation, visualizations, and analysis. It even includes pre-packaged Python and R notebook libraries, as well as the ability to import and use custom code, so students gain experience working with programming codes that they’re most likely to encounter in their future careers.
