This work addresses the need for AI education and workforce development, but it is incremental as it builds on existing training programs.
The paper describes a research experience for undergraduates program at NCSA aimed at training AI users and developers, reporting on lessons learned over six years of implementation.
This article focuses on training work carried out in artificial intelligence (AI) at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign via a research experience for undergraduates (REU) program named FoDOMMaT. It also describes why we are interested in AI, and concludes by discussing what we've learned from running this program and its predecessor over six years.
