Contact Hours: 40 hours
Course Title: Artificial Intelligence (CS-401)
Faculty In charge: Dr. Vijay Mohan

General Objectives
Students will gain:
• Describe the various searching techniques, constraint satisfaction problem and
example problems- game playing techniques.
• Apply these techniques in applications which involve perception, reasoning and
learning.
• Explain the role of agents and how it is related to environment and the way of
evaluating it and how agents can act by establishing goals.
• Acquire the knowledge of real-world Knowledge representation.
• Analyze and design a real-world problem for implementation and understand the
dynamic behavior of a system.
• Use different machine learning techniques to design AI machine and enveloping
applications for real world problems.
