From AI tool use to production AI systems
The Enterprise AI for Software Engineers certificate is designed for working developers, technical leads, and software architects who already write production code and now need to design, integrate, evaluate, and operate AI-enabled applications.
The certificate addresses the widening gap between engineers who use AI tools and engineers who build reliable AI systems. Coursework will include AI-assisted software development, context engineering, agentic application patterns, production integration, observability, evaluation, and governance.
The sequence is designed to culminate in a portfolio capstone: an applied AI or agentic application artifact with architecture, evaluation, and operational documentation.
