The graduate Certificate in Artificial Intelligence, Modeling and Simulation in Engineering (AIMS) requires a minimum of 15 s.h. of credit. Students must earn a g.p.a. of at least 3.00 in coursework for the certificate. The certificate program is most appropriate for University of Iowa graduate students enrolled in the College of Engineering and open to graduate students from other disciplines.
Students are strongly encouraged to participate in at least one workshop related to Python, R, or high performance and parallel computing offered by the Information Technology Services Research Services (ITS-RS) department; see the Workshops web page on the High Performance Computing website. Students are also encouraged to participate in the HACKUIOWA hackathon organized by the UI Hydroinformatics Lab.
The Certificate in Artificial Intelligence, Modeling and Simulation in Engineering requires the following coursework.
