The Online Master of Engineering (MEng) with a focus area in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) program is a professional, non-thesis degree comprised of nine courses in the areas of leadership development and AI/ML.

The core AI/ML classes will help students develop their understanding of the fundamental math of AI and ML, and AI and ML theories, techniques and tools. They will apply this knowledge more deeply in the courses of Image Analysis and Computer Vision, Deep Neural Networks, and Natural Language Processing.

Students have the opportunity to introduce their own project ideas in both the Innovation Tools and Methods Course and the Engineering Management Course. Our Engineering Law class will cover a broad introduction to relevant implications that arise from emerging technologies, such as the ethics around AI and ML.

Students in this program earn a Master of Engineering degree which will be reflected on their transcript and diploma.
