Key Responsibilities:
Curriculum Design & Syllabi Development: Build a comprehensive 4-credit syllabus, session plans, and assignment rubrics for a twice-weekly, 1.5-hour lecture schedule.
Course Material Creation: Develop hands-on lab exercises, source-grounded research prompts, case studies, and framework guides focused on agentic AI, governance, and workflow redesign.

Domain Expertise: Deep understanding of contemporary AI platforms, Large Language Models (LLMs), evaluation metrics, process control mechanisms, and agentic AI concepts (tool-use, multi-agent systems, proactive/event-triggered automation).
Teaching / L&D Experience: Demonstrated experience in graduate-level teaching, executive education, or senior-level corporate learning and development.
Technical Fluency: Ability to bridge high-level managerial strategy with technical execution (e.g., prompt engineering, low-code/specification-driven app building, workflow automation).
