What is the AI Engineering for Autonomous Systems course about?
Most AI engineers are trained in models and data, but few have the systems-level expertise to deploy truly autonomous agents. The gap shows when scaling beyond prototypes: brittle logic, poor observability, and integration debt stall progress. Without structured engineering patterns, even strong concepts collapse under real-world complexity.
