CHEME 5820

Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Methods for Engineers

Course Description

Course information provided by the 2024-2025 Catalog. Courses of Study 2024-2025 is scheduled to publish mid-June.

Engineering practice increasingly relies on computational tools, data analysis, and Machine Learning approaches. This one-semester course introduces machine learning, focusing on supervised learning and its theoretical foundations in the context of engineering practice. Topics include regularized linear models, boosting, kernel methods, deep learning approaches, generative modeling tools, decision-making in stochastic systems, and reinforcement learning approaches.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: CHEME 4800 or CHEME 5800. 

Last 4 Terms Offered 2025SP

Outcomes
