Artificial Intelligence Option - Electrical Engineering BS

The AI option has a programming-focused curriculum that allows you to study how agents can:

• Solve complex problems
• Make inferences and decisions
• Learn from data (classical and deep learning)
• Evolve over time

This course work is enhanced by understanding the ethical implications and societal impacts of your designs.

Courses in Artificial Intelligence in Electrical Engineering

The artificial intelligence option includes three core courses that cover the foundations of artificial intelligence. These courses cover:

• An introduction to artificial intelligence and machine learning topics with practical examples of data, tools, and algorithms. You'll understand basic artificial intelligence techniques and their applications to engineering problems.
• Explore the history of artificial intelligence and its development over the years, and investigate various artificial intelligence techniques, along with their applications and limitations.
• Investigate cybernetics and aspects of robotics and controls associated with applications of a biological nature.

You may select additional AI elective courses that cover topics such as:

• Pattern recognition
• Machine learning
• Digital signal processing
• Deep learning
• Principles of robotics
• Advanced robotics

Multidisciplinary Senior Design

Multidisciplinary Senior Design is a two-course sequence in your final year of study. It’s a capstone learning experience integrating engineering theory, principles, and processes in a collaborative team environment. Multidisciplinary student teams follow an engineering design process, which includes assessing customer needs, developing engineering specifications, generating and evaluating concepts, choosing an approach, completing systems and subsystems designs, and implementing the design to the extent feasible, for example, by building and testing a prototype or implementing a chosen set of improvements to a process. You’ll apply the knowledge you have learned in the classroom and from your co-op experiences to this design project. Students in the AI option are expected to work on a design project that focuses on developing, implementing, or advancing different aspects of artificial intelligence.
