Description:

BCIT's Computer Systems Technology (CST) two-year diploma program combines computer systems theory with hands-on practical experience in software development. You'll learn software engineering and programming from industry professionals, and gain experience working on real projects, from concept to deployment. In second year, specialty options add depth and further hone your skills.

The Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning option focuses on the design and development of software to process, visualize, analyze and model data sets for the purposes of decision making and prediction. Students will develop an understanding of the fundamentals underpinning artificial intelligence and machine learning applications. Topics include search, games, constraint satisfaction problems, knowledge and reasoning, regression, classification, clustering, dimensionality reduction and kernel methods. Practical work will focus on analyzing real-world data sets, developing artificial intelligence and machine learning systems, as well as evaluating the performance of the systems for various domains.
