Development of an Expert Systems course for electronics students
In 1986, ‘Expert Systems’ was first offered to Computing and Information Systems students. Over time, Business, Management, and Engineering students elected to take this subject. In 1991, ‘Electronic Design with Expert Systems’ was specifically created for Electronic Engineering students. The evolution of both subjects and the lessons learned are discussed.
