Artificial Intelligence Courses

Eligibility
Aspiring applicants aiming for advanced graduate programs in artificial intelligence should have a bachelor’s degree in computer science, physical science, or civil, electrical or mechanical engineering. Students applying for online certificate courses in artificial intelligence (AI) need to have advanced mathematics or strong computer programming skills to apply. Prospective engineering graduates opting for master’s degree program may need to submit graduate test scores, letters of recommendation and some other supportive documentation to acquire admission, as per the institute’s brief. A master’s degree in robotics engineering, computer programming and mechanical engineering is a major prerequisite for a Ph.D. program. A student may need to submit a dissertation idea and an approved proposed plan for study before heading for a doctoral program. 

Details Of The Course Curriculum
Artificial Intelligence coursework basically concerns itself with engineering topics that focus on assimilating computer technology with mechanics. As Artificial Intelligence is designed to ape the human brain using computerized systems, students are taught to garner proficiency in mathematics, physics, electronics and computers. Most online Artificial Intelligence programs cover:

Specialization
Artificial Intelligence is a smart extension of science that concerns itself with the R & D of intelligent machines and aims at producing ‘thinking’ robots, a mechanical mimic of human intelligence and comes loaded with humungous capacities. Candidates graduating in artificial intelligence can choose to specialize in specified areas like transportation, pharmaceuticals, entertainment, communications, defense, cognitive engineering and computer technology. 

Skills Required
Candidates aspiring to make it big in artificial intelligence should have a strong background of physics, mathematics, computer science, engineering and electronics. Apart from this, having a solid knowledge of systems analysis, computer programming and various computer languages will provide an extra edge to your skills. A strong base of writing, art English and psychology is also seen as an added advantage. Apart from displaying a higher level of mechanical and technical competency, candidates should be self-motivated, highly creative, should be able to think out of the box, should enjoy working in a team, have great communication skills and should be open to challenges. 

Career Prospects
Expansion in the field of computer science and related research technologies has led young enthusiasts to find a sophisticated career in artificial intelligence. Job options range from managerial to technical. Aspiring computer virtuosos can dream of a stable career as statistical analysts, programmers, language experts, engineers and managers. Those armed with an associate degree can expect to find positions as engineering technicians while bachelor's and master’s degree holders may opt to work in the positions of robotics engineers, and can be involved in designing software and hardware, besides many other things. Doctorates can expect to make it big as professors and researchers. One can find employment with companies concerned with technological research and development, aerospace programs, weapons facilities and even government sectors.
