Instructional Ideas

• Invite a programmer to demonstrate LISP and Fortran
• Assign groups a programming language to research (Python, Java, C++, Ruby, Rust, Elixir, Scala, R., etc.) and then have the class build a matrix that compares the strengths, weaknesses, and best applications of each
• Have groups investigate current developments in AI

Classroom Considerations

• A preview of a full tutorial available for purchase
• Knowledge of computer science and mechanical and/or electrical engineering would be beneficial

Pros

• Includes a timeline of milestones and innovations in the development of AI
• Table of contents indicates the scope and depth of the tutorial

Cons

• None
