To equip students with skills needed in the rapidly evolving job market, the Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH), is set to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics in its academic curriculum.
The institution has also put in place plans to replace the computer science course with AI, robotics, and other skills related courses.
According to the Rector, Dr Ibraheem Abdul, incorporating cutting-edge technologies in the curriculum would prepare the students for the 21st century global market.
He said: “The AI and robotics hub will serve as a dedicated space for cutting-edge research and development in artificial intelligence and robotics technologies. Faculty, students, and industry professionals can collaborate on projects that push the boundaries of innovation. Artificial Intelligence and other skills related courses will be replacing the computer science course from next session.”
This move, according to the rector, will position YABATECH at the forefront of educational innovation, and prepare students for the challenges and opportunities of the ever-evolving digital era.
