| CHS2009 | Creative Ideation | 2 | 4 | Major | Bachelor | 1-4 | Challenge Semester | - | No |
| Most people think that creativity is closely related to something new, unique and original. But we have no idea how to do if we actually think up creative ideas, which has never been existed, on our own. Let's take note of the well-known old saying, there is nothing new under the sun. We should change our perspective on creativity. There is common and distinct patterns in those things considered to be creative. This course introduce the common patterns of creative ideation with a lot of examples. Major topics include systematic inventive thinking, creative ideation codes, biomimicry, creativity in culture and arts. | |||||||||
| CHS5005 | AI Startup and Entrepreneurship | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | Challenge Semester | - | No |
| Recent years have witnessed a rapid increase in the number of so-called AI startups with AI as their core value, as the scope of AI's application across all industries has expanded significantly. This is gaining popularity not only in Korea, but globally as well. However, there are no theoretical or empirical guidelines regarding the entrepreneurial skills and business models that AI startups in a hypercompetitive market should possess. It is extremely harsh for those AI startups that are actually traditional businesses dressed up to look like they use AI to to succeed in a very competitive market. For AI startups with inadequate business acumen, gaining a foothold on the market is also a daunting task. By focusing on the following three goals, henceforth, this course aims to assist the growing number of AI startups with their challenges. Firstly, it categorizes the various possible business models for AI startup companies. Secondly, it then examines some of the most prominent domestic and international cases to illustrate the various types of entrepreneurship that AI startups require to thrive. Thirdly, a hypothetical AI startup is created, on a team basis, using real-world software such as Landbot, Stable Diffusion, and a number of no-code ML/DL (machhine learning/deep learning). Then its business model and entrepreneurship are established; and its efficacy is evaluated. | |||||||||

| CHS7004 | Thesis writing in humanities and social sciences using Python | 3 | 6 | Major | Bachelor/Master/Doctor | Challenge Semester | - | No | |
| This course is to write a thesis in humanities and social science field using Python. This course is for writing thesis using big data for research in the humanities and social sciences. Basically, students will learn how to write a thesis, and implement a program in Python as a research methodology for thesis. Students will learn how to write thesis using Python, which is the most suitable for processing humanities and social science related materials among programming languages and has excellent data visualization. Basic research methodology for thesis writing will be covered first as theoretical lectures. Methodology for selection of topics will be discussed also. Once a topic is selected, a lecture on how to organize related research will be conducted. In the next step, students learn how to write necessary content according to the research methodology. Then how to suggest further discussion along with how to organize bibliography to complete a theoretical approach. The basic Python grammar is covered for data analysis using Python, and the process for input data processing is conducted. After learning how to install and use the required Python package in each research field, the actual data processing will be practiced. To prepare for the joint research, learn how to use the jupyter notebook as the basic environment. Learn how to use matplolib for data visualization and how to use pandas for big data processing. | |||||||||
