Introduction
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the attempt to build artificial systems that have intelligent behavior. There are two main directions of research. One is to understand natural intelligence by the use of computer models. The other provides techniques and technology for building systems capable of intelligent decisions and actions. Thus AI is both a science and an engineering discipline. Applications of AI range from 'smart' controllers for household devices to computers that can converse in English, play games, conduct intelligent web searches or act as the brain of a robot.
Aim of the Program
The BS-Artificial Intelligence program at UMT has been designed to produce graduates who are accustomed to a range of Artificial Intelligence topics essential for designing and maintaining reliable and effective software and hardware systems. The program is designed to give its students hands on experience to cover all aspects of Artificial Intelligence including problem modeling and analysis, software design and development, software verification and validation, software quality testing and software management and hardware designing..
After completing the program, a student will be able to:
- Apply the basic principles of Artificial Intelligence for providing reliable software design, implement, deploy and maintain practical software systems.
- Verify and validate software and hardware systems.
- Understand and apply software project management skills: measurement, estimation, costing, planning, deployment and tracking of resources.
- communicate effectively in career and educational environments, and
- Apply his/her knowledge and skills to develop a career in software and hardware business or industry, or for graduate study in software engineering or other scientific or technical fields, in general.
Admission Requirements
- At least 50% marks in Intermediate (HSSC) examination with Mathematics (equivalent qualification with Mathematics certified by IBCC) or in medical (admission of pre-medical students will be confirmed after completing two deficiency mathematics courses within the first year of admission)
- Equivalance Certificate from IBCC in case of O-Level/A-Lever, American High School Diploma or any other foriegn qualification
- 50% marks in NAT/Admission Test
