This 3-credit graduate qualifying project, typically done in teams, provides a capstone experience in applying Artificial Intelligence skills to a real-world problem. It will be carried out in cooperation with an industrial sponsor, and is approved and overseen by a core or collaborative faculty member in the Artificial Intelligence Program. This offering integrates theory and practice of Artificial Intelligence, and includes the utilization of tools and techniques acquired in the Artificial Intelligence Program to a real-world problem. In addition to a written report, this project must be presented in a formal presentation to faculty of the AI program and sponsors. Professional development skills, such as communication, teamwork, leadership, and collaboration, will be practiced. This course is a degree requirement for the Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence (MS-AI) and may not be taken before completion of 21 credits in the program. Students outside the MS-AI program must get the instructor’s approval before.
Completion of at least 24 credits of the AI degree, or consent of the instructor. With permission of the instructor, the GQP can be taken a 2nd time for a total of 6 credits.
