Curriculum Design Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) Back Propagation Method

Abstract With the rapid changes in technologies and industry requirements, goal for the engineering education can be set as the job roles and defining the curriculum of the Program as required to meet the job role. The curriculum design can be done with designing the curriculum and defining the expected outcome of the Program. Then based on the expected outcome, the gap can be identified and the curriculum can be defined to bridge the gap between the Program and the expected outcome. Instead, the Job Roles and the skills required skills can be taken as the as the starting point and the courses required are identified to attain this outcome. In turn, the pre requisite courses can be identified and further prerequisite courses can be identified. The technology of Artificial Intelligence (AI) back propagation method can be effectively used to achieve this. This paper gives an example of such method applied for identifying the curriculum required to meet the job roles in the area of Internet of Things (IoT).
