Level 4: AI-Application Requirement
The IDE senior design courses will focus on two aspects of AI integration: (1) Students will learn how to leverage generative AI to enhance efficiency and quality while documenting ethical considerations. (2) Students will learn how to use AI as a data assistant, to support brainstorming, to support coding, and to support technical communication (i.e., writing, data visualization, presentations).
The following design courses will implement AI:
- Senior Design
- EPICS
- Theater Engineering Capstone
