Program Learning Outcomes:

List the specific knowledge and skills directly related to the program’s discipline that you expect students will have at the time of graduation to be successful in the field. The outcomes must be observable and measureable, rather than what students “know,” “think,” “understand, “appreciate,” etc.

Graduates of this program will be able to perform one or more of the following tasks:

1. Combine intelligent analytics and automation, human-computer interaction and robotics techniques to optimize and automate, transportation, industrial  process and/or healthcare processes.
2. Apply machine learning techniques on big data to predict, classify, data mine   and explore patterns.
3. Apply intelligent visualization and Internet-based techniques for smart homes and communities.
4. Perform research, discovery and integration by applying knowledge of AI theory and techniques.
