An overview of software engineering is provided in the course. It will cover the basics of software development lifecycles, development tools, technologies, and tools that you should know. It will also look at different types of programming languages and teach students how to use Python and create basic programming constructs.
In this module, the students will learn about artificial intelligence (AI) and its core concepts. They will also learn about AI applications as well as their use cases in professional and personal cases. By the time this course ends, the participants will be able to recognize the impact and potential of AI to transform careers and businesses. The course will also look at the limitations, issues, and ethical concerns surrounding AI.
You will explore the foundations of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in this module, as well as how it differs from discriminative AI. You will learn about the possibilities of generative AI for creating text, pictures, code, audio, and video, as well as how it may be used to supplement data.
In this course, students will learn about the relevance and concept of prompt engineering in generative AI models. They will learn how to apply best practices for creating prompts as well as explore examples of impactful prompts. The participants will also learn about the common prompt engineering techniques. They will also be introduced to commonly used tools for prompt engineering.
This course will focus on describing the web application development ecosystem and terminology. The students will learn about front-end development, back-end development, full-stack development, and server-side development. The participants will also learn about identifying developer tools, integrated development environments, and more. They will also create and structure basic web pages with HTML and style them with CSS. The participants will also develop dynamic web pages using JavaScript.
The first part of this module covers the fundamentals of Python by exploring several data types, such as strings, floats, and integers. As you go through the module, you'll discover how to store data in variables, manipulate strings in various ways, and carry out mathematical operations using expressions.
This course focuses on Python and Flask. The students will learn about the processes and steps involved in creating a Python application, including its development lifecycle. The students will also create Python modules, run unit tests, and get familiar with PEP8 best practices. They will also learn about Flash, learn how to deploy applications using the Flask framework on the web. To end the course, they will also create and deploy AI-based applications on the web server using Flask and IM Watson libraries.
In this lesson, you will learn about the foundations of generative AI models and use the Hugging Face platform to explore AI models and datasets. You will work on a guided project with Gradio, Python, and the BLIP model to caption images. Through this project, you will learn how to use generative AI to construct an automatic picture captioning tool that can be used in real-world scenarios.
This course will teach the students how they can generate code snippets, programs, and scripts using generative AI models. They will also learn about applying techniques for application architecture and design, code refactoring, bug detection, and program optimization using generative AI. The participants will also learn about creating innovative solutions using ChatGPT, Google Gemini, GitHub CoPilot, and IBM Watsonx Code Assistant.
The final course in this professional certificate specialization will help the students describe the role of a software engineer as well as the career paths one can avail in this category. The participants will learn about how to search for jobs, create their resume, and create a portfolio. They will also get tips for giving an effective interview.
