Detailed course plan and training brief. A complete taught course pack is in preparation. The linked foundation module, where shown, is a smaller available resource.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
A clear starting point.
Prerequisites: Concurrent common core. Planning begins at orientation; model implementation follows ML201 and service integration follows MLO401.
Core studio / CPU-friendly local or notebook environment
WHAT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE
- Explain the assumptions and failure modes in scope and evidence design.
- Complete the practical: develop one substantial research-informed engineering prototype with a reproducible baseline and defend the decisions, limits and individual contribution.
- Defend the resulting working prototype with reproducible evidence.

THE TRAINING STUDIO
Make the subject
visible in your work.
Develop one substantial research-informed engineering prototype with a reproducible baseline and defend the decisions, limits and individual contribution.
Evidence to produce
- Working prototype
- reproducible repository
- technical report
- demonstration and individual defence
Training brief for supervised delivery. Code, datasets, answer keys and environment acceptance must be completed in the full course pack before delivery is confirmed.
ASSESS THE REASONING
A question you
should be able to answer.
Can another engineer reproduce the result and identify when the system should not be used?
Review dimensions
Technical correctness · reproducibility · interpretation of results · failure analysis · individual explanation. Course-level rubric and faculty moderation form part of the final adopted teaching pack.
External reference access, hardware, cloud accounts and paid services are separate. No third-party certification is included by implication.
