1- What is Artificial Intelligence?
It's a branch of science that examines how natural systems can do any cognitive activity, whether intelligently or not, with artificial systems (with bodies if necessary) from higher levels of performance. [1]
2- What is Artificial Intelligence Engineering?
Artificial intelligence engineering is a multidisciplinary engineering branch that conducts systematic studies on improving solutions by using artificial neural networks, machine learning, deep learning principles and methods to solve problems in various disciplines and creating the ability to develop new methods.
3- Who is an Artificial Intelligence Engineer?
Artificial intelligence engineer is the person who develops solutions based on artificial neural networks, machine learning and deep learning by working with interdisciplinary approaches such as data-based advice, finance, natural language processing, visual recognition and perception, smart cities, autonomous driving, medical solutions with artificial intelligence approaches.
4- What kind of process is waiting for me in Artificial Intelligence Engineering program?
In the early years of the program, the basics of software engineering are taught and students are expected to practice profusely throughout the program. Students begin design and programming in their early years in order to develop their own technical skills. In addition to technical courses, the program includes social classes to improve students' social skills and predisposition to teamwork. With technical documentation, presentations, reports, screen reviews and teamwork, students develop strong communication skills.
5- Do I need to know programming when I get into the department?
No, you don't need to know programming. In the early years of our undergraduate program, the basics of artificial intelligence engineering are taught. However, having a preliminary knowledge will be useful in the programming courses you will take in the first year.
6- Who should be an Artificial Intelligence Engineer?
It is important to be open to new ideas interested in science and mathematics, observer, creative, patient, open to group work in this field. The ability to think analytically and reasoning is the features that are expected within this Artificial Intelligence engineering, as in every engineering field. In addition, candidates with strong, self-critical and persuasive skills of communication skills are suitable for Artificial Intelligence Engineering.
7- What is the duration of Artificial Intelligence Engineering training?
The duration of education is 5 years, 1 year of English preparation. For students who pass the preparatory class directly, this period is 4 years. For preparatory class exemption conditions: https://bau.edu.tr/icerik/13551-hazirlik-okulu-sikca-sorulan-sorular
8- What is Artificial Intelligence Engineering education language?
Students who prefer this department receive their education in English.
9- Where can those who complete the Artificial Intelligence Engineering undergraduate program find a job?
Artificial Intelligence Engineer is one of the most sought-after engineering fields in job postings in recent years. Qualified human resources in this field have not yet satisfied the sector. A wide range of sectors can be employed due to the ability to produce solutions in all areas that can be produced, stored and processed in all areas such as artificial intelligence defense industry, medical, telecommunications, autonomy, manufacturing industry, finance, culture-arts, education, law. They can develop jobs worldwide in sectors such as public, private and academia. In addition, students of the department can develop their own projects while they are still studying and set up their own companies and benefit from national and international incentives.
10- What are the differences between Artificial Intelligence Engineering and Computer Engineering?
Both engineering areas are essentially very common with each other. However, while Computer Engineering emphasizes the design and development of software that controls the hardware itself, Artificial Intelligence Engineering is more interested in developing more effective and successful results with artificial intelligence approaches such as hardware, software, machine learning and deep learning developed in the departments of Computer, Software, Electronics, Industry Engineering.
