Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, Engineering, Human Factors, Human Systems Engineering, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, Pattern recognition, Robotics, approved for STEM-OPT extension, ethics
Learn the advanced skills needed to apply artificial intelligence and machine learning in human-centered systems, emphasizing the application of human factors in engineering. Take high-demand AI core courses and disciplinary electives, and select a culminating experience that fits your needs --- all in a flexible program that you can complete in one to two years.
The Master of Science program in artificial intelligence engineering with a concentration in human-centered artificial intelligence combines advanced study in AI approaches with deep domain expertise in human systems.
The use of AI approaches --- including machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, robotics and pattern recognition --- is becoming widespread in many fields, including all engineering disciplines. Yet, the majority of engineering occupations require subject matter expertise beyond AI.
Students learn how to develop and customize relevant AI approaches to human systems engineering problems that emphasize human factors in engineering. A core curriculum in AI engineering foundations, AI systems and tools, AI ethics and social responsibility, and data collection and evaluation for AI systems is complemented by human systems-specific courses to ensure breadth and depth in AI and in human systems.
This program may be eligible for an Optional Practical Training extension for up to 24 months. This OPT work authorization period may help international students gain skills and experience in the U.S. Those interested in an OPT extension should review ASU degrees that qualify for the STEM-OPT extension at ASU's International Students and Scholars Center website.
The OPT extension only applies to students on an F-1 visa and does not apply to students completing a degree through ASU Online.
