Module 8 Overview

Theme

End-to-end AI application

Essential Question

What evidence shows the application works as a system?

Module Components

• Book prose: conceptual framing, domain scenario, methods, and failure modes

• Assignment: evidence-backed production of a specific artifact

• Slides: presentation sequence for seminar or lecture delivery

• Narration: spoken version of the slide flow

• Instructor notes: facilitation plan, discussion prompts, and grading cues

• Rubric: criteria for evaluating the module artifact

• Notebook: executable lab aligned with the module theme using synthetic API requests, validation outcomes, latency measurements, and test-case results

Module Artifact

tested Python AI component with interface contract, CI evidence, and deployment notes focused on end-to-end ai application: Ship a documented AI application with tests and demo data.

Professional Setting

Students work as if advising an engineering team converting prototype AI code into a maintainable application component. Their work must be intelligible to software engineer, ML engineer, QA lead, product owner, and operations reviewer.
