About:
The Artificial Intelligence Engineering Concentration provides students with a basic foundation in artificial intelligence (AI), enabling the student to successfully integrate AI applications into their chosen engineering discipline. Through a combination of core and elective courses, students can tailor the minor to match their individual interests and career goals.
The AI Engineering Concentration is designed to help students:
- Understand and apply the foundational principles that underpin artificial intelligence (AI) and machine
learning (ML) techniques. - Analyze and model data effectively using modern AI/ML tools and techniques to extract meaningful
insights. - Develop practical skills in developing, training, evaluating, and deploying machine learning models to
solve engineering and real-world problems within their discipline. - Recognize the ethical and societal implications of AI by fostering awareness of responsible AI/ML
practices.
Requirements:
The concentration requires the successful completion of three courses (a minimum of 9 credits), one of which is required, two of which are elective courses.
