AEC - Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning - Fast Track

at Ascent College Canada

The Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AIML) program is designed to put you on the path to an exciting, evolving career that is predicted to grow sharply into 2025 and beyond. Artificial intelligence and Machine Learning will impact all segments of daily life by 2025, with applications in a wide range of industries such as healthcare, transportation, insurance, transport and logistics and even customer service. The need for AI specialists exists in just about every field as companies seek to give computers the ability to think, learn and adapt.

In this program, you will learn the use of mathematics, programming approaches (deep learning, unsupervised learning, data preprocessing, etc.) programming tools (programming, like "frameworks" and libraries, and languages, like Python and R) in the particular context of artificial intelligence.

Program Outline

• The AIML program provides training in the skills required for a career in AI. You will master TensorFlow, Machine Learning, and other AI concepts, plus the programming languages needed to design intelligent agents, deep learning algorithms & advanced artificial neural networks that use predictive analytics to solve real-time decision making problems.
• You will design and build your own intelligent agents and apply them to create practical AI projects including  games, machine learning models, logic constraint satisfaction problems, knowledge-based systems, probabilistic models, agent decision-making functions and more
• You will also understand and master the concepts and principles of machine learning, including its mathematical and heuristic aspects.  

In the context of the program, you would learn to:

• Use programming languages
• Solve computer problems with Math
• Exploit the principle of object orieneted programming
• Develop transactional web applications 
• Develop game or simulation applications

You will use the skills and competencies gained during the program to build a Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning project.

The Network Security and Ethical Cyber Piracy (NSECP) program is designed to meet the high demand for information system security analysts and related IT security professionals across multiple sectors – including consulting services, finance and health care. Students graduating from this program will enter into a specialized information and communication technology (ICT) field. They will have the capabilities to assess and evaluate security risks and threats to physical and digital infrastructure, develop and implement security contingency planning, and lead the development of policies and procedures to ensure that security risk is minimized.

Program Outline

• The NSECP program provides training in skills required for a career in Network Security or Cyber Security. You will develop and implement network and cybersecurity solutions considering the affordances and limitations of the computer operating systems, networks, application software, and packages available.
• You will develop best practices, strategies and processes to protect business resources through the application of knowledge of vulnerabilities and exploits.
• You will plan, implement, and evaluate cybersecurity policies and strategies using project management principles to effectively respond to the needs of the organization's information security requirements.
• You will perform security audits to ensure risk mitigation and compliance with security plans, policies, standards, regulations and best practices.
