AI Engineering is a job-oriented, project-heavy program for absolute beginners. We start from computer and Python basics and progress through Classical Machine Learning, Deep Learning with PyTorch, and modern Large Language Model (LLM) systems including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and tool-using agents. The program finishes with real deployment, monitoring, and practices so you can ship production-grade AI applications with confidence.
