It fits perfectly within our educational structure.”![]()
Foundational Pillars of the New School
新学院结合了圣地亚哥超级计算机中心（SDSC）的优势，SDSC是高性能和数据密集型计算领域的国家领导者，以及Halicioğlu数据科学研究所（HDSI），这是一个推进数据科学和人工智能教育与研究的先驱性跨学科研究所。The new school combines the strengths of the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), a national leader in high-performance and data-intensive computing, and the Halicioğlu Data Science Institute (HDSI), a pioneering interdisciplinary institute that advances data science and AI education and research.这些资源共同构成了SCIDS的基础支柱，并将在大学的研究和教育使命中，为加州大学圣地亚哥分校提供支持，以满足对数据科学和计算专业知识日益增长的需求。 Together these resources form the foundational pillars of SCIDS and will position UC San Diego to support the growing demand for data science and computing expertise across the research and educational mission of the university.加州大学圣地亚哥分校的新学院将通过转化计算、信息和数据科学来扩大我们对社会的影响，并通过我们的人工智能基础设施，将人工智能教育带到加州乃至全国的社区和教学学院，"圣地亚哥超级计算机中心（SDSC）主任、（HDSI）创始教员Frank Würthwein说。"将我们的优势与HDSI的优势结合起来，优化了我们在科学、技术、教育和社会创新方面的领导力。“The new school at UC San Diego will grow our impact on society via translational computing, information and data sciences, and bring AI education to community and teaching colleges across California and the nation via our AI infrastructure,” said SDSC Director Frank Würthwein, a founding faculty member of HDSI. “Combining our strengths with those of HDSI optimizes our leadership in innovation for science, technology, education and society.”加州大学圣地亚哥分校在技术相关领域的深度，以工程和数学为基础，在2018年得到计算机科学与工程校友Taner Halicioğlu的慈善支持后，进一步加深了HDSI的建立。UC San Diego’s depth in technology-related domains, anchored by engineering and mathematics, deepened further when the university established HDSI in 2018 with philanthropic support from Computer Science and Engineering Alumnus Taner Halicioğlu.HDSI致力于培养下一代机器学习工程师和数据分析师，汇集了来自计算机科学、通信、医学等领域的跨学科教师和研究人员团队。这些研究人员共同探索新的计算方法、新的数学模型，并指导数据科学的社会和伦理影响。例如，HDSI是NSF资助的大规模学习型优化人工智能研究所（TILOS）的所在地，该研究所探索人工智能优化并推进芯片设计、网络和情境机器人技术。Educating the next generation of machine learning engineers and data analysts, HDSI brings together an interdisciplinary team of faculty and researchers from areas ranging from computer science to communications to medicine. Working together, these researchers explore new computational methods, new mathematical models and guide societal and ethical impacts of data science.HDSI, for example, is home to the NSF-funded AI Institute for Learning-Enabled Optimization at Scale (TILOS), which explores AI optimization and advances chip design, networks and contextual robotics.HDSI和SDSC共同面临着构建跨学科学术和研究的独特挑战。他们在SCIDS下的结合将涉及新的协同作用，并在创造人才方面实现巨大的新可能性，包括人工智能等新兴领域，"HDSI主任Rajesh Gupta说。
"HDSI and SDSC share the unique challenge of building transdisciplinary academics and research. Their coming together under SCIDS will involve new synergies and realize tremendous new possibilities in creating talent in emerging areas, including artificial intelligence," said HDSI Director Rajesh Gupta.加州大学圣地亚哥分校的数据科学本科专业最初由计算机科学与工程系在2016年开发和引导，然后该学位课程转移到了HDSI。HDSI在2020年毕业了第一批学士学位学生，并在2022年启动了硕士和博士项目。HDSI还提供数据科学辅修课程，学生人数不断增长，并且正在与健康科学联合启动M.S.-M.D.项目。目前，HDSI有51名教职员工任命。学生毕业生包括2020年至2024年间的814名学士学位学生，以及2022年至2024年间的22名硕士学位学生。2024年有1名博士毕业生。UC San Diego’s undergraduate major in data science was first developed and shepherded in 2016 by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering before the degree program’s transfer to HDSI. HDSI graduated its first class of bachelor’s students in 2020, and initiated masters and doctorate programs in 2022. HDSI also offers a minor in data science, with a growing population of students, and it is in the process of launching a joint M.S.-M.D. program with health sciences. Currently, there are 51 faculty appointments in HDSI. Student graduates include 814 bachelor’s students between 2020 and 2024, and 22 master’s students between 2022 and 2024. One Ph.D. student graduated in 2024.![]()
EASING ACCESS TO AI EDUCATION
人工智能和机器学习为今天的学生提供了新的职业机会，他们将成为下一代的学术研究者和跨行业的创新专业人士。鉴于这些学生有可能积极地改变社会，圣地亚哥超级计算机中心和加州教育网络倡议公司（CENIC）正在为整个CENIC社区——包括K-12年级、公共图书馆、社区学院和加州州立大学（CSU）系统——提供一个名为CENIC AI资源（CENIC AIR）的人工智能教育基础设施。Artificial intelligence and machine learning present new career opportunities for today’s students who will become the next academic researchers and innovative professionals across sectors. Given the potential for these students to positively transform society, the San Diego Supercomputer Center and the Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California (CENIC) are providing an AI Education infrastructure called CENIC AI Resource (CENIC AIR) for the entire CENIC community – grades K-12, public libraries, community colleges and the California State University (CSU) system.该基础设施与加州大学圣地亚哥分校内部用于教授数千名学生的系统互操作，包括参与顶点项目（Capstone Program）的HDSI学生，这些学生每季度在数十门课程中参与实践。The infrastructure is interoperable with what UC San Diego uses internally to teach thousands of students, including HDSI students who participate in Capstone Program projects, across dozens of courses every quarter.
展望未来，SDSC和CENIC将使用国家数据平台，一个旨在为广泛的社区提供开放和公平的科学数据访问和使用的服务生态系统的项目，包括传统上代表性不足的研究人员，将教育内容整合到这一基础设施中，以便所有这些领域的教育工作者可以共享数据、练习、项目和课程内容。Going forward, SDSC and CENIC will use the National Data Platform – a project aimed at a service ecosystem to make access to and use of scientific data open and equitable across a broad range of communities, including traditionally underrepresented researchers – to integrate educational content curation into this infrastructure so that educators across all of these segments can share data, exercises, projects and course content.“我们期望这种创新技术的使用能显著减少学生在不同阶段之间的转换摩擦，从而惠及从社区学院到CSU或UC校园的转学生，以及从K-12到大学的学生，和从大学到博士的学生，”圣地亚哥超级计算机中心（SDSC）主任Frank Würthwein说。“We expect this innovative use of technology to significantly decrease the friction for students moving between segments, thus benefitting transfer students from community colleges to CSU or UC campuses, as well as K-12 to college students, and college to Ph.D. students,” said Frank Würthwein, director of SDSC.另外，在2024年The Princeton Review 中，加州大学圣地亚哥分校在全美公立大学中排名上升至第 6 位，拥有一流的学术、职业基础和可负担性。
UC San Diego has climbed to No. 6 among public universities in the nation for stellar academics, career foundations, and affordability, according to ThePrincetonRev 's Best Value Colleges for 2024.
