2nd Year Course/Lower Division

Students are expected to have completed:

Mathematics and Statistics

Compentences and Skills that will be Acquired and Learning Results:

General competences:
- Analysis (PO a)
- Abstraction (PO a)
- Problem solving (PO c)
- Capacity to apply theoretical concepts (PO c)

Specific competences
- Cognitive
1. Evaluation based on multiple Theoretical IA tasks (PO a)
- Procedimental/Instrumental
2. Students should use different IA techniques, compare them through experiments, and analyze the results (PO b)
3. Students should apply the right and appropriate AI technique and parameters to solve a task (objective) (PO c)
- Attitudinal
4. Students should work on the homeworks in teams (PO d)
5. Students are required to use AI tools and provide solutions to real-world problems through computer engineering (PO e)
6. Students must present a written summary for each homework, the final homework should be orally presented, and the final exam is written (PO g)
7. Students should be able to use state of the art AI tools to solve homework tasks (PO k)

Learning Activities and Methodology:

Theoretical lectures: 2 ECTS. To achieve the specific cognitive competences of the course (PO a).
Practical lectures: 2,5 ECTS. To develop the specific instrumental competences and most of the general competences, such as analysis, abstraction, problem solving and capacity to apply theoretical concepts. Besides, to develop the specific attitudinal competences. (PO a, c, d, f, g).
Guided academic activities (present teacher): 1,5 ECTS. The student proposes a project according to the teachers guidance to go deeply into some aspect of the course, followed by public presentation (PO a, c, d, g, k).

Assessment System:

Exercises and examinations are both learning and evaluation activities. The evaluation system includes the assessment of guided academic activities and practical cases, with the following weights:
Examination: 40% (PO a)
Exercises: 30% (PO b, c, d, e)
Practical case: 30% (PO a, c, d, g)
