AI-Native Software Engineering and Development

RIA – School of Technology & AI · Under AI Essentials

Engineer the application, then keep only what you can defend

This programme is for people who will engineer, test, secure, optimise, and deploy software with artificial intelligence across the lifecycle, not only generate code. You are likely a developer, a full-stack engineer, an architect, or a technical lead. A large language model (LLM) assistant may draft. You still own the design, the repository, and the decision to keep a change.

The work sits on the shared software development life cycle (SDLC) pathway, Complete AI-Native SDLC Engineering. You document and build a full-stack application: requirements, architecture, a database, a frontend, a backend, an application programming interface (API), tests, a review, and a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline. It is a learner project. It is not a named customer system.

Suggested time on this track is 40 hours inside a 16-week professional programme of about 160 to 200 hours. That shape is subject to batch and faculty planning. Classes run at Purasawalkam and Saligramam. The cohort and any certificate are confirmed when you enquire. On the form, the Technology stream lists this course as AI in Software Development. Call +91 98843 63200.

Shared foundations you apply here

You write a business requirements document (BRD) and a functional requirements document (FRD). You sketch a high-level design (HLD), a low-level design (LLD), and a unified modeling language (UML) view. Laboratory work is a repository and a pipeline. The same foundations are summarised on the lifecycle page.

Languages

Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, C# / .NET, SQL, HTML and CSS. You use the language the task names, and you can explain the file you submit.

Concepts you practise

Data structures and algorithms. Object-oriented and functional programming. SOLID, DRY, KISS, and YAGNI. Clean architecture, hexagonal architecture, and domain-driven design. MVC, MVVM, and layered architecture. Microservices. REST, GraphQL, and WebSockets. Authentication and authorization, role-based access control (RBAC), and OAuth 2.0. Normalization, indexing, transactions, and migrations.

Design-pattern groups

You learn the names and where each group is used. The page does not implement the patterns.

  • Creational: Singleton, Factory, Abstract Factory, Builder, Prototype.
  • Structural: Adapter, Decorator, Facade, Proxy, Composite.
  • Behavioral: Strategy, Observer, Command, State, Template Method.
  • Enterprise: Repository, Unit of Work, Dependency Injection, CQRS.
  • Distributed: Circuit Breaker, Retry, Saga, API Gateway, Bulkhead.

Practical exercise, in words: ask an assistant for one pattern, check it against the requirement, find an anti-pattern, refactor, and write a unit test.

Laboratory set

The programme names these tools. A licence the cohort does not hold is not replaced by pointing work at a system you do not own.

GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, VS Code AI extensions, Continue, Ollama, Git, GitHub, GitLab, FastAPI, Flask, Django, Node.js, Spring Boot, ASP.NET Core, Angular, React, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, Swagger / OpenAPI, Docker, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI.

Code-review checklist

You use this list on your own change and on a change an assistant drafted. An AI-generated fix is tested and reviewed before it is kept.

CheckWhat you confirm
Functional correctnessThe change does what the requirement says, and it does not add a behaviour the requirement left out.
ArchitectureThe change sits on the boundary you drew in the high-level design.
Code qualityNames match the work. A classmate can read the file without you beside them.
Design patternsA pattern you kept still matches the problem. An anti-pattern you found is refactored.
PerformanceYou can say what the change costs in calls, queries, or waiting, at the size of this exercise.
SecuritySecrets stay out of the repository. Access matches the role you documented.
ReliabilityA failed dependency has a defined outcome. You do not hide the failure.
TestingThe test you added would fail if the requirement were broken.
MaintainabilityThe next edit has an obvious place to land.
AI-generated codeYou can explain the line, the test covers it, and a person has reviewed it.

Course curriculum

Twelve modules. You leave with the application you documented and built. The full hour split, the assessment mix, and the capstone options are on Complete AI-Native SDLC Engineering.

  • AI-Native Software Engineering and Development

    Programme objective: You document and build a full-stack application: requirements, architecture, a database, a frontend, a backend, application programming interfaces, tests, a review, and a pipeline. A large language model assistant may draft. You keep a change only after you can explain it, test it, and review it.

    Learner path: Requirement engineering, system architecture, database engineering, programming, design patterns, API development, frontend, backend, Git collaboration, AI code review, software quality, then CI/CD and deployment. The shared gates sit on Complete AI-Native SDLC Engineering.

    Suggested time inside the pathway is 40 hours, within a 16-week professional programme of about 160 to 200 hours. That shape is subject to batch and faculty planning. The cohort and any certificate are confirmed when you enquire. This page does not state fees, batch dates, faculty names, or placement rates.

    Module 1 — Requirement engineering

    You write a business requirements document and a functional requirements document for the application you will build, and you mark every decision those documents leave open.

    Module 2 — System architecture

    You produce a high-level design, a low-level design, and a unified modeling language sketch, and you can walk a classmate through each box and each boundary.

    Module 3 — Database engineering

    You model the data, choose keys, and apply normalization, indexing, transactions, and migrations so a second person can see why each table exists.

    Module 4 — Programming and AI coding

    You implement the behaviour in the language the task names, compare an assistant draft with your design, and rewrite any line you cannot explain.

    Module 5 — Software design patterns

    You ask an assistant for one pattern from the groups named on this page, check it against the requirement, find an anti-pattern, refactor, and write a unit test. The page names the patterns. It does not implement them.

    Module 6 — API development

    You design the application programming interface the screens will call, document it with Swagger / OpenAPI, and show a request and a response you can account for.

    Module 7 — Frontend development

    You build the screens with HTML and CSS in Angular or React, including an empty state and a path a person can finish without a hint from you.

    Module 8 — Backend engineering

    You build the server with FastAPI, Flask, Django, Node.js, Spring Boot, or ASP.NET Core, and you keep secrets out of the repository.

    Module 9 — Git and code collaboration

    You branch, commit, and open a review on Git with GitHub or GitLab so a classmate can see what changed and why.

    Module 10 — AI code review

    You apply the code-review checklist on this page to a change, including a change an assistant wrote, and you record what you kept and what you rejected.

    Module 11 — Software quality

    You add tests that match the requirement, run them yourself, and write down what passed and what you still have to judge.

    Module 12 — CI/CD and deployment

    You put the application through a pipeline with Docker and GitHub Actions or GitLab CI. A green run is evidence. A person still approves a release. An assistant recommendation does not deploy the application by itself.

    Testing the business result is AI-Powered Test Automation Engineering. Performance and a controlled failure are AI-Driven Performance and Chaos Engineering. Authorised defensive testing is AI-Powered Application, API and LLM Security Testing.

Limits

  • Passwords, keys, and private customer data stay out of a public assistant.
  • You submit code you can explain. An assistant draft is not the submission until you have reviewed it.
  • The deliverable is your project. The page does not name a customer.
  • Laboratory work is a repository and a pipeline used in the programme.
  • Fees, the next batch date, faculty names, and placement rates are not published here.
  • The cohort and any certificate are confirmed on enquiry, as AI in Software Development.

This programme is listed on AI Essentials, not on NVIDIA AI Essentials. Call +91 98843 63200.

Questions

Does an assistant own the code I submit?

No. A large language model may draft a function. You write, test, and review what you keep. An AI-generated fix is tested and reviewed before it is kept. If you cannot explain a line, you rewrite it or you leave it out.

What do I leave with?

A full-stack application you document and build: requirements, architecture, database, frontend, backend, application programming interfaces, tests, a review, and a pipeline. It is your project. It is not a named customer system.

How long is the programme, and what do I select on the enquiry form?

The planned shape is a 16-week professional programme, about 160 to 200 hours, with about 40 hours on this track. That shape is subject to batch and faculty planning. The cohort and any certificate are confirmed when you enquire. On the form, choose the Technology stream and the course AI in Software Development.

Is this the Java full stack course, industrial automation, or robotics?

No. Professional Java Full Stack and Cloud Engineering is a separate programme. Industrial automation and robotics sit in the School of Robotics. This course is under AI Essentials in the School of Technology and AI, and it is one part of Complete AI-Native SDLC Engineering.
