AI Solutions Developer (UCI 3097) is a 13-week course designed to equip learners to build end-to-end AI applications: operating model endpoints, designing effective prompt strategies, implementing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), adding tool-using agents, integrating OCR-driven multimodality with a lightweight UI, and applying evaluation, testing, and documentation for production-minded delivery.
This intermediate is designed for individuals with prior software engineering training who are ready to use their skills in AI application development. Through an array of interactive labs, clear, focused mini-lectures, and collaborative build projects, individuals will stand up model runtimes, orchestrate conversations, ground answers in their own data, implement reliable tool-calling workflows, ship a demo UI, and assemble a portfolio-ready capstone.
Upon successful course completion, learners will be equipped to pursue roles such as AI Solutions Developer or Full-Stack Engineer.
Objectives
- Accelerate AI Feature Delivery: Build and ship end-to-end AI applications using prompt engineering, retrieval augmented generation, and agent workflows with reproducible code, tests, and documentation.
- Enhance Information Access and Accuracy: Implement retrieval pipelines with citations, guardrails, and evaluation to reduce hallucinations and improve answer quality for knowledge-heavy use cases.
- Improve Cross-Functional Productivity: Deploy usable demos and lightweight UIs or APIs, integrate with existing systems, and communicate results through clear reports and professional collaboration practices.
