Abstract
A final year undergraduate course on Expert Systems, designed for
Electrical Engineering students, is described. To cater for this
audience the course has a highly practical nature, despite the
students' lack of relevant prerequisites in Computer Science. This
is achieved by emphasizing logic programming throughout to illustrate
all concepts taught; weekly, scheduled laboratory sessions; and a
carefully-graded series of assignments.
We have demonstrated that bright engineering students can get to grips
with practical issues in applied artificial intelligence through a
short, intensive, course - starting from ground level. \fIPROLOG\fR
was found invaluable as a pedagogical tool, as was the highly-structured
engineering-style laboratory. Informal feedback indicates that the
course has achieved its objectives and indeed exceeded expectations.
