I was prepared to be disappointed, however for an undergraduate I think this is pretty good.

That said, a huge omission seems to be some form of "Is this a data/ML problem?" class. Call it product management, product development or something else, but I constantly see clients asking for ML solutions when they don't even have data that would inform an ML solution. Often it's a people or process problem, or poorly defined requirements.

So I think to be effective in ML you need to understand how successful products that USE ML are built and when ML/DNNs are appropriate.

I think this is done to death in any intro to ML/AI class (at least speaking from an undergrad perspective).

Yay for an ethics component! Albeit, I have a strong feeling it'll be treated as a (for lack of a better term) BS class since the audience this caters to isn't necessarily those interested in academia but are more likely to do this track b/c it'll be more beneficial for jobs.

I had an ethics class for my Bachelors in Science at UIC (part of the engineering department). Is an Ethics class not standard for the CS curriculum?
