As you know, AI is rapidly changing how software is built, tested and maintained, and agents are at the center of that shift. I am pleased to announce that I will be teaching a selected topics course in Fall 2026 titled "AI Agents with Claude Code," co-listed for both undergraduate and graduate students.
In this course, you will learn how to design systems that can plan, use tools, manage context, and carry out real development tasks. The course provides hands-on experience with one of the most practical agentic coding environments available today, helping you build skills that are immediately relevant to internships, research, and industry careers. If you want to stay ahead of where computing is going and graduate with experience that sets you apart in the job market, this is a course worth considering.
If you have completed two semesters in a college-level programming sequence, such as Computing I and II with the corresponding labs, you have met the prerequisites for the course.
The class will meet on campus on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5 to 6:15 p.m. The course number is COMP 4600 / COMP 5300 Selected Topics: AI Agents with Claude Code. There are 30 seats for undergraduates and 10 seats for graduate students, so I encourage you to register early before the seats are filled.
