AI Analysis
This addresses the need for specialized AI engineering education, but it is incremental as it builds on existing educational frameworks.
The authors developed a practice-oriented bachelor's program for training AI engineers over three years, sharing insights from student industry assignments to inform industry and research.
Over the past three years we have built a practice-oriented, bachelor level, educational programme for software engineers to specialize as AI engineers. The experience with this programme and the practical assignments our students execute in industry has given us valuable insights on the profession of AI engineer. In this paper we discuss our programme and the lessons learned for industry and research.
