Abstract

When teaching artificial intelligence (AI) courses, instructors may feel that our undergraduate programs are successful when the students have demonstrated understanding of their coursework—often by developing much of the project code from scratch. This submission contends that this is not sufficient and that we can (and should) instill sound software engineering development practices as well. Such an approach can enable students to build upon the prior work of others and create software upon which others can build. An approach to develop an effective interactive AI resource, which would facilitate learning in AI as well as engender sound software engineering practices is discussed.
