Graduate Certificate in Engineering Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become one of the most disruptive technologies since the turn of the century. Its applications are now ubiquitous in our lives, used in small devices like smart phones and speakers to large industrial applications and self-driving vehicles and a host of other applications. AI can mean different things to different people and people with a diversity of application areas of interest are now interested in AI certification. The United States (US) Government established the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence as an independent Commission on August 13, 2018 (https://www.nscai.gov/home). Its primary intent was "to consider the methods and means necessary to advance the development of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and associated technologies to comprehensively address the national security and defense needs of the United States."
Top schools in the US (https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-science-schools/artificial-intelligence-rankings) are investing in the AI field and creating AI certificates and degree programs. The COE faculty embarked on designing a graduate certificate program in AI in the summer of 2020 and this proposal is the outcome of that effort. The team included faculty from all five of our COE departments.
Given that AI can mean different things to different people with a diversity of application areas of interest, COE has designed an AI certificate program that can be taken by people with diverse backgrounds. Certificate consists of one course, from each of the four AI categories, for a total of four (3 cr.) core courses listed below:
