Certificate in Artificial Intelligence Engineering

CERTIFICATE IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ENGINEERING

Artificial Intelligence Engineering is a fast-growing field in the STEM industry essential to create more robust, high-performance digital elements. The program is designed to prepare students with advanced knowledge and skills in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning in the engineering domain. The AI program consists of core courses training students to become highly skilled AI engineers who can develop and apply AI-based solutions within the engineering discipline. This STEM program focuses on various AI engineering frameworks and representations for inventing, tuning, and specializing AI structures and algorithms. The engineering topics include various AI aspects such as pattern recognition, machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision, etc., fundamental to building systems that can intelligently interact with humans and other digital processes. The program will prepare students for career positions at the entry level such as AI Engineer, Machine Learning Engineer, Analytics Research Scientist, Data Scientist Engineer, etc. The market for the workforce in the industry, commercially and academically, is continually growing worldwide, which places our graduates in very high demand. BAU is located in one of the largest areas for a collection of technology companies, which graduates will tremendously benefit from while they pursue their degrees for experiences and after graduation for job opportunities. ​
