Goal

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

  • Recognize opportunities, limitations and possibilities of applying Artificial Intelligence techniques in various areas of modern life
  • Point out the specificity of individual problems, the selection and adaptation to them of appropriate techniques
  • Plan to evaluate alternative methods in comparison with each other to solve specific problems, recognizing the possibilities and limitations of each method/technique
  • Communicate ideas related to the application of Artificial Intelligence techniques in a clean, clear and formal manner. The overall aim is students to design, build and evaluate Artificial Intelligence systems to solve real-world problems, and explain their operation

Also, the course targets to the following general competencies:

  • Ability to organize and plan work and time management
  • Ability to communicate effectively (orally and written)
  • Ability to solve problems
  • Ability to develop critical thinking and capacity for critical approaches
  • Ability to work in a team
  • Ability of interdisciplinary approaches
  • Ability to apply theoretical knowledge in practice
  • Ability to do research
  • Ability to adapt methods and techniques to new situations and conditions
  • Ability to generate new ideas – Creativity
