Module aim (aims)
The aim of this module is to transition students from consumers of AI to Intelligence Engineers. We define Intelligence Engineering as the discipline of accumulating, structuring, and directing synthetic cognition.
By the end of the course, students will assume two global-level roles: the AI Transformation Engineer (retrofitting the professional world for the AI Age) and the AI Engineer (architecting the native systems of tomorrow). The value focus shifts from "training a model" to orchestrating a workforce of models (Agentic Systems) to solve complex, multi-step domain problems.
Pre-requisites in terms of knowledge, skills and social competences (where relevant)
Students should possess a solid foundation in general computer usage. While the course covers advanced Agentic Architectures and Generative Engineering, it is designed to be accessible to motivated students. The Generative Toolkit (Class 1) and Cloud Laboratory (Class 2) provide the necessary technical on-ramping.
Syllabus
- Neural Networks & Generative Interfaces
- The Cloud Laboratory: Compute & Data Pipelines
- The Paradigm Shift: Intent vs Intelligence
- The Agentic Brain: Semantic Memory & Retrieval
- Advanced Methodology: Context & Grounding
- Agentic Architecture: Cognitive Systems Design
- Sovereign AI: Local Inference & Model Distillation
- Orchestration Layer: Workflow Engines & Security
- Agentic Patterns: Reasoning & Emergence
- Defensible Evaluation: Auditing & Risks
- Multimodal Generation & Agentic Interfaces
- The Edge: Project Defense & Deployment
Assessment (Course Portfolio) The Semester Project is mandatory. Students must build a robust, multi-agent system (Agentverse) that demonstrates Generative Competence and Agentic Architecture.
