  • Course Description
    The course is a practical programming class focused on artificial intelligence (AI). It aims to teach students introductory AI concepts and enable them to develop simple AI applications using Python. Specifically designed for non-EECS (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science) college beginners, the course covers the basic to advanced concepts of the Python programming language. The examples and exercises provided in the course primarily emphasize AI applications. Additionally, the course introduces a few contemporary AI applications. The course is taught in English, but bilingualism is acceptable for discussions and Q&A sessions. Teaching methods in each week: 50 mins: Lecture on the programming skill. 80 mins: Students engage in hands-on exercises and teamwork. 20 mins: Lecture on the fundamental knowledge. If you would like to take the course but were unable to successfully enroll, please come to class in the first week. However, if the numer of extra enrollment students is larger than five, we may select five from them to obtain the authrization codes.
  • Course Objective
    At the beginning of this class, students are expected to have hands-on programming experience in the Python language. By the end of the curriculum, they will be able to showcase their artificial intelligence programs through their final projects.
