Concentration – Artificial Intelligence

The AI concentration is a discipline and specialization within the ECE department that follows the general ECE degree requirements, and it is open to all students in MSEE, MSCE, and MSECE. In addition to ECE department students, this concentration is also open to students in MS computer science, MS software engineering and MS Information and Cyber security. Non-ECE students (MSCS, MSSE, and MSICS) must take the REQUIRED ELECTIVES and two courses from ELECTIVES in AI concentration to fulfill the concentration requirements. The core courses for non-ECE majores will be according to their respective major requirements.

The AI concentration has the same requirements as the general ECE degree and a total of 39 credit hours.

CORE COURSES

  • CEN 548 Computer Network Systems
  • ECE 502 Advanced Python Applications
  • EEN 541 Digital Signal Processing and System Analysis

The AI concentration has the same requirements as the general ECE degree and a total of 39 credit hours.

REQUIRED COURSES

  • ECE 557 Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Application
  • ECE 505 Machine Learning Fundamentals
  • ECE 655 Deep Learning Fundamentals (Keras/ TensorFlow 2.0, Pytorch)

CAPSTONE COURSE

  • ECE 690 Capstone project or
  • ECE 698 Master Thesis

INTERNSHIP

  • INT 593 Part-time/Full-time Internship

ELECTIVE COURSES

Minimum of 2 electives are required in order to fulfill the AI concentration requirement:

  • ECE 656 Reinforcement Learning (Pytorch)
  • ECE 657 Natural Language Processing (Keras/TensorFlow 2.0, Pytorch)
  • ECE 660 Parallel Implementation of ML Algorithms with GPUs (Python Mumba programming, Cuda programming with C++)
