B.S. in Artificial Intelligence
The Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence with a concentration in Intelligent Control Systems (B.S.A.I.) focuses on embedded systems, autonomous systems, optimization methods for systems and control, smart devices and systems, and system security. This concentration will prepare AI engineers with the ability to integrate AI technologies to application fields, such as autonomous transportation, smart systems, cybersecurity, smart health and Internet of Things.
This degree will prepare graduates for both careers in software using AI technologies, as well as in the hardware areas that drive AI technologies, such as smart sensors, robotics, autonomous systems, and many more.
Students who complete the BSAI degree with the Intelligent Control and Systems concentration will be well prepared for future careers in AI technologies. They will have a deep foundation in mathematics and programming, and broad knowledge of AI techniques and applications. They will also have hands-on engineering experiences and exposure to hardware/devices, especially in the context of AI technologies. Other curriculum requirements include cybersecurity and robotics.
