Course Content

01

Course Overview

This chapter provides an introduction to the AI Engineering course, outlining the full learning journey, what you will build, and how each module connects to production-grade AI system development.

Start Chapter
02

AI Foundations

This chapter builds your foundational understanding of modern AI systems. You'll learn how text generation, multimodal AI, structured outputs, function calling, the Model Context Protocol, and reasoning models work — giving you the engineering mental model required to build on top of these systems e

Start Chapter
03

Prompt Engineering

This chapter provides a comprehensive, production-grade guide to prompt engineering. You'll progress from basic prompting techniques through advanced patterns including chain-of-thought reasoning, few-shot prompting, prompt chaining, routing and orchestration, reflection, and prompt optimization — a

Start Chapter
04

RAG Fundamentals

This chapter covers Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) from the ground up. You'll learn embeddings, vector stores, chunking strategies, and how to build complete RAG pipelines — including agentic RAG patterns. The chapter includes practical walkthroughs and hands-on tasks to solidify your understa

Start Chapter
05

AI Agent Fundamentals

This chapter provides a deep dive into AI agents — autonomous systems that can reason, plan, use tools, and take actions. You'll learn the ReAct pattern, tool integration, agent loops, memory systems, workflow orchestration, error handling, and human-in-the-loop patterns, culminating in building pra

Start Chapter
06

Building a Legal Case Workflow

This chapter is a real-world project module where you'll see a complete AI-powered Legal Case Workflow system designed, built, and reviewed. You'll understand how AI agents, RAG, and prompt engineering come together to solve a real business problem end to end.

Start Chapter
07

Agentic RAG

This advanced chapter covers Agentic RAG — combining autonomous AI agents with retrieval-augmented generation to build intelligent systems that can classify intent, route queries, interact with databases safely, and handle complex data retrieval workflows. You'll build a Text2SQL agent and explore p

Start Chapter
08

AI System Design and Architecture

This chapter covers the architectural thinking required to design AI systems at scale. You'll explore AI system architecture patterns, learn about coding agents, build one hands-on, and take on a challenge working with Claude Code to deepen your understanding of agentic coding tools.

Start Chapter
09

Prototype to Production

This final chapter bridges the gap between AI prototypes and production-grade systems. You'll learn how to evaluate AI systems using DeepEval, implement advanced RAG system patterns for reliability, and apply cost optimization and caching strategies to run AI systems efficiently at scale.
