OIM3690 Web Development with AI
4 Advanced Liberal Arts Elective Credits
This course prepares students to build web products in the AI era by focusing on how to collaborate effectively with AI tools rather than memorizing syntax. From the first day, students use AI to generate complete websites and progressively learn to understand, evaluate, modify, and improve AI-generated code. Core web technologies including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are introduced as essential concepts for guiding AI systems and making informed design and technical decisions. Through a single evolving project, students experience the full lifecycle of modern web development, from AI-assisted prototyping and iterative refinement to version control, deployment, and ongoing improvement in real-world web environments. By the end of the course, students will be able to use AI responsibly to build and maintain web applications while retaining the conceptual understanding needed to debug issues, assess tradeoffs, and shape AI-generated solutions to meet real product goals.
Prerequisites: SME2012 or OIM2000
