Description: This course teaches students to use AI coding tools with the same discipline you would bring to any other engineering activity. The goal is not to gain tool familiarity, as the tools are changing rapidly. Rather, this course will teach professional judgment: a defensible practice of planning, verifying, and owning AI-assisted work that endures. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for COMP 303 if student has credit for COMP 318.
