Software Development with AI Coding Agents

1 Course Unit

This course examines software development in an era where AI agents can generate code at scale. Students learn to work at higher levels of abstraction, focusing on ethics, architecture, specification, rapid prototyping, and verification. Through hands-on projects, students develop skills in navigating unfamiliar codebases, writing robust test suites, reviewing AI-generated code, refactoring, and managing technical debt in rapidly evolving systems. Furthermore, students will learn how to select the best agents for particular tasks and how to document and share important lessons to improve their workflow over time. Fall or Spring Prerequisites: Students must take CIS 1210 before taking CIS 2500. 1 Course Unit
