You use AI from week one, then learn to build with it. Every step asks you to verify, explain and own what the AI produces.
Use AI to break down problems and to fix and improve your Python code, from your very first weeks.
Module 1 covers how LLMs work, where they hallucinate, prompt engineering and how to compare AI tools side by side.
Embeddings, vector search with ChromaDB, RAG with local LLMs through Ollama, guardrails and prompt injection awareness.
Every capstone includes a RAG pipeline behind a FastAPI backend, with a Streamlit frontend, Docker Compose and tests.
“You’ll understand every layer of it, not just the AI part.”
From the AI Software Engineering curriculum
One continuous build: 3 pre-work sections, then 9 modules in three parts. Every module ends in a project and a short presentation.
AI marks modules with a dedicated AI lesson. Open any module to see what it covers.

Pitch it, architect it, build it with daily check-ins, then present it. Ideas include a study assistant, a recipe assistant or a docs chatbot. Every capstone includes:
Every program is part-time, so you can keep working while you learn. Here’s what a typical week includes.
Learn with an instructor in live online sessions, recorded in case you miss one.
Hands-on work, with every module ending in a project you can show employers.
Individual feedback and guidance from experienced instructors and TAs.
1:1 support to build your resume, portfolio and job search plan.
You don’t just watch lessons. Each module ends with something you build, present and add to your portfolio.
Each module builds on the last, so by the capstone you’ve worked on every layer: data, database, API, interface, AI and deployment.
// every lesson follows one patternEverything lives in your public GitHub portfolio, starting in pre-work.
In the 8-week Tech Residency, graduates from all four programs build and ship one product together in agile sprints, with mentors guiding the way. Here are a few of their demos.
AI emergency healthcare access
AI-powered finance dashboard
AI mission control simulator
AI security training platform

Taking this class was one of the best investments and career decisions I’ve ever made. Their curriculum is designed to give you a deep understanding of all the technologies and languages that you’ll be using for your career going forward.
Justin A.The criteria and class curriculum are spot on for becoming a successful software engineer. I feel more and more confident every day and continue to impress myself, having no previous coding experience.
William M.They will help you throughout the whole program, there is no moment that you are going to feel alone. This is a life-changing decision and they make it fun and dynamic to learn.
Benjamin D.Coding Temple gave me the opportunity of my life. They are a strong community with high values and knowledge. All the resources, material, and lessons are above and beyond in terms of quality.
Juan M.Their career services were exceptional, aiding in resume building, interview prep, and job placement. I feel well-prepared for my career. Highly recommend!
Kseniia R.After graduating, I was assigned to a career coach who supported me in my post-graduation job search with mock interviews and other tools and resources. They also host workshops to dive deeper into topics to support our ongoing learning.

Talk to AdmissionsSee all FAQsSoftware engineering is the disciplined and creative process of designing, building, and maintaining software systems that solve real-world problems. It blends analytical thinking, programming and engineering principles, and today it increasingly means building with AI.
Software engineering offers high-growth opportunities across industries. With a projected 25% job growth between 2022 and 2032, about 153,900 new roles open annually. From healthcare to finance, demand for skilled engineers is strong, with salaries averaging $110,140, and some specializations, like machine learning, exceeding $200,000.
It’s a rewarding challenge that builds your problem-solving and technical skills. You start in pre-work with logical thinking and the terminal before any code, then Python with instructor support, so you’re never thrown in the deep end.
It’s a 4-month, part-time program: 3 pre-work sections, then 9 modules in three parts. Part 1 covers AI Foundations, Advanced Python, Databases & SQL and REST APIs. Part 2 covers FastAPI and Web Essentials & Streamlit. Part 3 covers Embeddings & Retrieval, RAG & Docker Deployment, and a capstone AI-powered application. Every module ends in a project.
AI is both a tool and a subject. You use AI as a learning companion from pre-work, learn how LLMs work and where they fail in Module 1, then build AI features yourself: an AI dashboard, semantic search, and a full RAG application for your capstone.
It’s part-time. You can attend live daily sessions (recorded for later viewing) and work through self-paced videos, assignments and projects around your schedule, so you can keep your job while you learn.
It’s one continuous build. Instead of disconnected tutorials, each module adds a layer (data, database, API, interface, AI, deployment) until you ship a containerized AI app you understand end to end, with a portfolio project for every module.
