 Role of Academia, Industry, and ResearchFady A. Harfoush ()
Chapter 8 in From Big Data to Intelligent Data, 2021, pp 101-111 from Springer Abstract: Abstract Academic institutions are juggling between providing quality education, meeting industry demands for new skills, and conducting research work. It is many times a challenging balancing act. The advent of massive open online courses (MOOCs) available at a very affordable cost is making it harder for many institutions to justify their high tuition costs. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated the problem. A new thinking is required, and schools need to revamp themselves. The gap between academia, industry, and research can be bridged by adopting a more holistic and integrated approach leveraging what each has best to provide. Solutions ought to be developed at a more granular level. The notion of one solution that fits all is no more applicable. In the era of big data and artificial intelligence, it is imperative to think beyond the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) oriented programs, and include Art. It is easier to automate formulas and equations, but very difficult to automate the creative and critical thinking.
