Regional Project: OSU, IBM, Battelle Memorial Institute
To address the need for a more analytical-skilled workforce, The Ohio State University and IBM are leveraging The IBM Client Center: Analytics Solutions Lab, a new advanced analytics center in Columbus, and collaborating on new business and technology curricula to help students gain the latest skills in analytics and prepare for high-value jobs in the future. New courses of study have been developed at the undergraduate and graduate levels that will include access to the center’s technology assets and thought leaders. As part of its Academic Initiative, IBM is providing Ohio State with curriculum materials, relevant case studies, access to a wide spectrum of software solutions, IBM guest speakers, and faculty incentives to accelerate program development.
Interventions: course redesign; student research internships; mentoring
