Career Insight: Technology and Innovation
Course Description
Move future-forward in pursuits like AI, human-computer interface, nanotechnology, and climate engineering!
Explore possible paths to follow during and after college, as you look deeper into how you might pursue your passions. Your journey begins here at UChicago, home of cutting-edge innovation hubs in all of these areas and more.
In the morning, UChicago professors, lecturers, and researchers will introduce you to key concepts and practices in molecular engineering, computer science, and the physical sciences through lectures, discussions, readings, and hands-on activities designed to reveal a range of possible pursuits.
In the afternoon, connect with practitioners through presentations, informational interviews, and career treks around the city, and with Career Advancement staff who will help you consider what various career paths you might follow and cultivate the skills you need to begin to pursue those opportunities.
You will keep a response journal and complete other assignments that will become a part of a final portfolio that you will submit at the end of the program.

Understanding AI: AI Through a Technical, Socio-Ethical, and Career Development LensGenerative AI, large language models (LLMs) -- these buzzwords have been popping up in newsrooms, classrooms, and dinner tables. This discussion-intensive, hands-on course provides students with a foundational understanding of AI through a technical, socio-ethical, and career development lens. No prior computing or AI experience is necessary to take this course. This class will give students the opportunity to:
Week 1: Understand topics like the training process behind LLMs and apply what they learned to design their own chatbot.
Week 2: Critically evaluate the impacts of LLMs on society and design a public-facing media piece that raises awareness about their impacts and responsible use.
Week 3: Assess how LLMs might change the future of jobs by using historical events to inform future predictions. Students will develop their own 5-year plans to think about the potential careers they are interested in pursuing and the corresponding skill sets required.
Across the 3 weeks, researchers and industry professionals will visit the class to share their expertise and to help students understand how design choices, ethical considerations, and real-world motivations shape the development and impact of LLM systems.
