This capstone is a culminating experience in which students design, integrate, deploy, and operate a complete AI-enabled system. Drawing together data operations, AI integration, testing, security, and monitoring, students apply the full lifecycle of skills developed throughout the program to a single comprehensive project. Emphasis is placed on operational readiness, thorough documentation, and clear professional communication of technical work. By the end of the course, students will be able to deliver a functioning, well-documented AI-enabled system and articulate their design and operational decisions to both technical and non-technical audiences — demonstrating the integrated competence expected of professionals entering the field.
