AI Engineering with C#

Catalog description

This course is the first in a three-course C# sequence within the BSAIE program (AI Engineering with C#, Advanced C#, and C# .NET Backend Development). Building on students ’ prior experience with Python and object-oriented programming, the course transitions learners to C# as a second programming language. Students design and develop functional C# applications that apply programming logic, incorporate user interface elements, manage basic data input and output, and integrate external libraries and services, including AI-enabled components. The course emphasizes applied software engineering practices, including code modularity, control flow, and the translation of object-oriented concepts from Python to C#. AI integration is introduced at a foundational, application level, focusing on incorporating existing AI services or libraries rather than developing or training AI models. This course is not beginner-focused and assumes prior coding experience. It prepares students for continued work in backend engineering with C# while also establishing foundational AI integration skills relevant to both the BSAIE and BSSWE programs.
