You’ve made the decision to become an AI/ML engineer - now it’s time to put it into action. We’ve developed this 6-step guide to follow in order to approach the process of becoming a well-rounded engineer, ready to tackle an industry career.

In this post, we do a deep dive into how our Master’s degree works, the program format, student experience, and what to expect, as well as tuition and scholarships.

Our program works differently than other programs: most programs focus on lectures and exams. We focus on programming, building software, and developing on-the-job competencies.

Read on to discover how our program works.

The Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning profession is expected to grow by “23% between 2022 and 2032, which is much higher than average” according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which in comparison, “The average growth rate for all occupations is 3 percent.” If a career in AI/ML interests you, now is the time to strengthen those technical skills, practice technical interviewing, and fine tune your technical portfolio. This can be done through certificate or degree programs. Take a look at our programs to see two different options available to become an AI/machine learning engineer. Each has different structures based on experience and lengths of time to consider before deciding what’s best for you. If you have questions about either program or want to discuss our programs, feel free to contact us!

Every year, thousands of mothers put their jobs and careers on pause to have children or look after their family, often for an extended period of time. Every year, there’s also thousands of mothers who return to the workforce, arguably with more to offer than when they left.

As more companies start returnship programs, we look at how mothers can benefit from updating their skills, how to talk about their career breaks, and why mothers can have an advantage over other candidates for engineering positions.

Two Qwasar students, Connor Cable and Thanh Ngo built a Discord bot to help facilitate student support within the Qwasar community. This independent project is already having positive impacts on the learning community. It’s an excellent example of the independent work Qwasar students engage in during their curriculum, and a testament to the creativity and initiative of Connor and Thanh.

A lack of demand is not fluid across industries. While the recent news of large tech companies making cuts hangs in the air, many industries including insurance, aerospace, banking, green, retail, government, etc. are ramping up their hiring and even struggling to find talent to fill their positions. A few popular companies in the news headlines do not represent the majority. 

We sat down, with Maurice Sharpe, an IT Engineer at IBM and friend of Qwasar's CTO, to learn more about his journey into tech from chemistry.

Recently, we sat down with Brendan Wilhelmsen, a Software Engineer at Workday, to talk about his journey into a career as a Software Engineer and what his day-to-day job looks like. Brendan shares some insights with our learners about how his learning experience at Qwasar helped prepare him for a position with Workday.
