With expert mentor reviews you can produce a portfolio that proves you can ship.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>This is a 4-month program, claimed to require 38 hours, at Intermediate level and its prereqisites are:<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\nAgentic AI&#13;<br \/>\nGenerative AI Fluency&#13;<br \/>\nBasic Python&#13;<br \/>\nBasic typescript&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>You will also need to be able to communicate fluently and professionally in written and spoken English.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>The curriculum relies heavily on Claude, the Claude Agent SDK, Model Context Protocol (MCP), and Claude Code. It is also designed to help align your skills with Anthropic&#8217;s independent Claude Certified Architect Foundations exam.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/deeplink?id=d2N6hGst4zs&amp;mid=53187&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.udacity.com%2Fcourse%2Fai-engineering-with-claude--nd7426\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">AI Engineering With Claude<\/a>\u00a0comprises four courses, each culminating in a hands-on project:<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Harness Engineering with Claude and Claude Code\u00a0&#8211; 12 hours (15 lessons)<br \/>Build the engineering skills to put Claude and Claude Code to work on real systems. You&#8217;ll choose the right Claude model for a job by weighing intelligence, speed, and cost, then design agent architectures that perceive, reason, and act. Using the Claude Agent SDK, you&#8217;ll build production agents driven by stop-reason loops and engineer context strategies that keep long conversations affordable.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Project:\u00a0Stand up, run, and verify four reference systems from the course, then\u00a0defend each one&#8217;s design in a reflection brief grounded in your own run\u00a0output.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>MCP in Action &#8211; 11 hours<br \/>(11 lessons)<br \/>Connect AI applications to the tools, data, and systems they need using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). You&#8217;ll start with the architecture: how hosts, clients, and servers talk to each other. From there you&#8217;ll work through the core server features (tools, resources, and prompts) and client features like roots and sampling. You&#8217;ll build your own MCP servers, integrate them with Claude Agent SDK agents, and add custom tools of your own.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Project: Build the &#8220;PriceScout&#8221; AI agent. Write a client that uses an LLM to command custom scraper and database servers to analyze competitor pricing automatically.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Agent Evaluation and Observability with Claude\u00a0&#8211; 7 hours\u00a0<br \/>(8 lessons)<br \/>Make AI agents you can trust by measuring what they do and watching how they behave in production. You&#8217;ll enforce structured outputs with schemas so an agent&#8217;s responses stay predictable and machine-readable. Then you&#8217;ll build automated evaluation frameworks that score an agent&#8217;s task completion, quality, and reliability. You&#8217;ll apply these skills to real document-extraction systems: a validated, routed insurance policy pipeline and a resilient mortgage extraction system that holds up under messy input.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Project: Operate three document and risk systems you built: run them, break them on purpose, and defend their design with your own evidence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Bounded Autonomy and Guardrails with Claude and Claude Code\u00a0&#8211; 8 hours<br \/>(5 lessons)<br \/>Give AI agents room to act on their own while keeping them inside firm boundaries. You&#8217;ll design multi-agent systems where an orchestrator coordinates specialized agents, then build a hub-and-spoke system with the Claude Python SDK. From there you&#8217;ll add guardrails that hold: deterministic hooks that enforce agent compliance no matter what the model decides to do.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Project: Build an enterprise-ready Code Review tool using the Claude Agent SDK that uses different tools to check the quality of code in PRs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>The 50% offer, which is valid for new customers until
