This experience immerses learners in the practical application of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, equipping them with the skills to solve real-world problems. Learners will explore various AI methodologies, including expert systems, machine learning, and knowledge representation, to develop intelligent solutions. By engaging with industry-driven projects, learners will apply their understanding of AI concepts to create innovative solutions that mimic intelligent behavior, enhancing their problem-solving and analytical skills.

This experience is designed for learners who are equipped with foundational knowledge in computer architecture, IT fundamentals, networking, programming, and information management. Participants will engage in projects that require them to apply their skills in designing, deploying, and managing IT systems within an organizational context. The focus will be on practical application, allowing learners to gain hands-on experience in configuring operating systems, managing IT environments, and ensuring system integration and quality assurance. This experience aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world IT challenges, preparing learners to meet industry demands effectively.

In this class, students study how to plan and conduct an audit and how to write an audit report. The students also study about cybersecurity and internal controls.

Students can analyze accounting transactions (via debits and credits), prepare income statements, statements of retained earnings, and balance sheets. They learn about the accounting cycle (analyzing business transactions, recording them in the general journal, posting to the general ledger, making adjustments to account balances, preparing financial statements, and closing some accounts). They can do this manually. Students also know about financial ratios and they can analyze financial statements. Students also study about the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) responsibility of business to society and the planet (via non-financial disclosures). The class studies US GAAP, but we are open to exploring IFRS accounting rules, as well.
