Course Overview

Generative Artificial Intelligence

This course will introduce students to the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI), taking them from the very beginning where they will learn about the foundations of AI in Data Mining then go into the more advanced aspects of AI in Deep Learning and Machine Learning culminating in Generative AI. Students will explore how computers learn from data to make decisions. Students will then develop their own Generative AI projects based on a real-world problem.

Students will learn:

  • What AI and Data Mining are.
  • The foundation of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
  • How Machine Learning works and its natural progression from AI.
  • How Deep Learning works and its natural progression from Machine Learning.
  • How generative AI works and its natural progression from Deep Learning.

3D Printing

This course will introduce students to the world of 3D Printing, showing both the individual and industrial applications of this developing technology. Students will explore the design process using Computer Aided Design (CAD) and examine the limitations, advantages, disadvantages and applications of each type of 3D Printing. Students will create and print a project design that tackles a real-world problem in their communities. Students will also be exposed to the entrepreneurial possibilities of 3D Printing.

Students will learn:

  • The Design Process.
  • How to navigate CAD platform.
  • How to create designs by exploring 3D shapes.
  • How to translate your digital design to a physical print.
  • What 3D printing is (History, Types, applications etc.)
