Course Outcomes#

By the end of the course, students will be able to:

  • explain the major concepts and tradeoffs in AI Project Management & Deployment;

  • build or evaluate applied AI artifacts aligned with the course domain;

  • document assumptions, evidence, limitations, and operational risks;

  • connect technical work to governance, stakeholder needs, and deployment readiness.
