Applied A.I. Solutions Development Program (Postgraduate) (T431)

George Brown College

OVERVIEW

Leadership Claims

The Applied A.I. Solutions Development program is one of the first of its kind to be offered by a Canadian college. Developed by George Brown College's School of Computer Technology, it recognizes the industry demand for Full Stack Data Scientists who are qualified to fill the roles of Data Scientist, Data Analyst, Data Engineer or Machine Learning Engineer as needed, and also apply business analysis skills to effectively communicate how Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning/Deep Learning can be used in business models.

Program Overview

This exciting new program instills students with knowledge that spans the fields of Computer Science, Mathematics and Business to prepare them to deliver innovative Artificial Intelligence (A.I.), Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Data Science/Data Analytics solutions for an ever-expanding range of industry applications.

The program will focus on combining the three disciplines (Computer Science, Math, Business) with a design-thinking approach to produce Machine Learning/Deep Learning models and intuitive dashboards to communicate results and findings.

Program Learning Outcomes

The graduate has reliably demonstrated the ability to:

• Identify, evaluate and manage relevant data sources to support data analytics and to meet organizational needs.
• Recommend different systems, architectures and data storage technologies to support data-driven solutions.
• Develop and deploy complete Machine Learning/Deep Learning production systems for a variety of industry use cases that meet the needs of a specific operational/business process.
• Assess and apply appropriate mathematical models, algorithms, tools and frameworks to develop A.I.-enabled, industry-specific solutions.
• Apply legal, ethical, privacy and security-related standards and considerations in data science projects in a manner that protects privacy and confidentiality, addresses data bias and transparency, and ensures data integrity.
• Implement artificial intelligence systems on time and budget using best practices and strategies in design thinking, project management and lifecycle management.
• Design artificial intelligence (A.I.) systems through the application of systematic approaches and methodologies to meet growing organizational needs.
