Course Description

This course serves as an introduction to Artificial Intelligence and data analytics with an application emphasis in natural and built environment engineering and sciences. Students will learn introductory AI concepts and fundamentals, commonly used discriminative and generative machine learning (ML) models for supervised and unsupervised learning. Advanced deep/large models, such as CNNs, Transformers, and large language/vision models will be given as non-technical lectures. LLMs-based tools will be taught as AI-learning assistants for programming, and Python-based examples will be discussed for preparing homework and projects.
