Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, students will be able to apply programming, mathematical, and computational techniques to problems involving computer science and artificial intelligence. They will understand key principles behind intelligent systems and be able to evaluate how computational and data-driven methods can be used to address different challenges. Students will develop the ability to design, implement, test, and improve software solutions while considering the requirements of the problem being addressed. They will also be able to work with data, investigate technical issues systematically, and select suitable methods for developing computational solutions. The course will strengthen their understanding of how artificial intelligence connects with wider areas of computer science, while developing analytical, research, communication, and collaborative skills needed to undertake further study in the field.
