Subject Matter Expert (SME) AI Enhanced Engineering Systems Design Graduate Certificate

Program Overview:

The AI Enhanced Engineering Systems Design Graduate Certificate is a rigorous, four-module program designed to equip engineers and technologists with the knowledge and skills to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) into complex engineering systems. The SME will play a pivotal role in shaping the curriculum to bridge theoretical understanding with industry-relevant applications.

Key Responsibilities

As the Subject Matter Expert, you will:

• Curriculum Development
• Design the syllabus for one core module:
  • SSW 656 – Advanced Software Architecture: Integrating AI/ML
• Define clear learning objectives, instructional strategies, and module-level outcomes aligned with graduate-level expectations.

• Content Creation

• Develop high-quality, academically rigorous course materials such as: scripts for video lectures, reading materials, case studies, discussion prompts, multimedia elements (in coordination with the instructional design team)
• Ensure technical depth and relevance for working professionals and recent graduates.
• Design modular content that can be reused across programs and easily tagged for search and retrieval.
• Document skills and competencies for each module and apply SEO-style tags for future indexing in a central content database.
• Use institutional blueprint templates to align learning outcomes, competencies, and content duration per module.

• Content Review

• Review the content updates made to the following existing modules:

• • SYS 625 – Fundamentals of Systems Engineering
  • SYS 650 – System Architecture and Design
  • SYS 626 – AI & ML for Systems and Enterprises

• Assessment Design

• Create formative and summative assessments, including: Assignments, quizzes, Capstone projects
• Develop grading rubrics and model answers.

• Collaboration & Review
• Work closely with instructional designers, program managers, and academic reviewers.
• Participate in internal review cycles and incorporate feedback to enhance learning materials.
• Stay current with industry and academic trends to ensure program relevance.

Qualifications:

Education

• Master’s degree or Ph.D. in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, AI/ML, Software Architecture, or a closely related field.

Professional Experience
