Our Alumni - Work For Us
This module will give you a foundational knowledge of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) concepts and related Microsoft Azure services. This module will help you demonstrate knowledge of common ML and AI workloads. In addition, ‘AI Fundamentals’ will guide you through hands-on sessions and workshops on how to implement common ML and AI workloads on MS Azure.
‘AI Fundamentals’ will prepare you for later modules, as well as for a placement in your third year. Employers look for skilled graduates with industry-recognised and technology-based certifications such as the MS Azure AI Fundamentals AI-900. Employers are seeking talented individuals who can work as members of a team in understanding, analysing, and designing AI solutions leading to sustainable growth, change and impact and applying effective, responsible and ethical AI-enabled techniques.
During ‘AI Fundamentals’, students will work through a series of workshops and exercises relying on state-of-the-art AI technologies and Cloud Computing such as MS Azure. Furthermore, students will make use of Northumbria’s state-of-the-art computer labs. Students will also critically engage with research outputs as part of their research-rich learning.
One of the elements in the assessment (50% of the final mark) will be to produce a 2000 words critical reflection on an AI topic which will be set each year. Students will have to choose a more specific subject related to the AI topic, provide a literature review, identify and discuss the problematic and challenging issues related to the topic, propose and implement a solution to address the identified issues. This assessment will require desk-based research, furthering understanding developed through the lecture material provided.
The second element in the assessment (50% of the final mark) is a presentation of the practical work done in the first assessment, the implementation approach and a discussion of the findings.
‘AI fundamentals’ lectures and workshops will help students prepare for the AI Fundamentals certification exam (AI-900). This certification can be used to prepare for other Azure role-based certifications like Azure Data Scientist Associate or Azure AI Engineer Associate which are much sought-after by recruiters.
