Educational Aims of the Module

  • This main goal of the module is to equip students with the tools to tackle new Artificial Intelligence (AI) problems they might encounter in life.
  • This module will be a survey of the field of Artificial Intelligence and students are not expected to have any prior knowledge on the topic, but they are expected to have good programming skills.
  • Throughout the semester, students will work on a project where they will need to develop an AI application and therefore excel their programming skills.
  • Throughout the project and module itself, they will learn to identify and apply AI algorithms on a concrete problems
