*** Notice *** Kindly notice that there is no need to send me an email for course enrollment. If you would like to take the course but were unable to successfully enroll, please come to class in the first week. We may deliver the authorization codes. The unsuccessful enrollment status will be announced after the preliminary course selection on January 17th. == Spring 2025 == The course is a practical programming class focused on artificial intelligence (AI) examples. Students are taught introductory Python language at the beginning, engage in hands-on programming in class, and implement AI examples in the final month of the course. If you are an Electrical Engineering or Computer Science (EECS) student or already have experience with Python programming, you’re most likely to be bored in this course, as it is specifically designed for non-EECS beginners. The course covers basic to advanced concepts of the Python programming language. The examples and exercises provided in the course primarily emphasize AI applications. Finally, students will use Python to implement the final project, which contains programming tasks (with hints, if necessary), and present their work. The course is taught in English, but bilingual Q&A sessions are acceptable. Teaching methods in each week: 70 mins: Lecture. 70 mins: Students engage in hands-on exercises and teamwork. You may use AI tools to assist you with the exercises. 10 mins: Conclusion of hands-on exercises and fundamental knowledge.

(1)Students are expected to have hands-on programming experience in the Python language. (2)By the end of the curriculum, students will be able to showcase their artificial intelligence programs or data analysis developed in Python through their final projects.

The students should take along with their laptops in the class session.
