Production-Oriented AI Engineering
Proposed advanced course aligned with Vasiva’s production engineering practices. Not a promise of employment or production access to Vasiva client systems.
- Python
- LLM APIs
- Evaluation harness
- Logging
- Git
This is fee-based Project-Based Training — not a paid internship. Registering interest is not enrollment and does not collect payment. Fee details will be shared before enrollment.

Learning outcomes
- Define evaluation criteria for an AI feature
- Document operational and security constraints
Project specification
Add evaluation, failure handling, and operational documentation to an AI feature intended for real use.
- Problem statement · Illustrative
- An AI feature that already works in a demo needs evaluation, failure handling, and operational documentation before it can be treated as more than a prototype.
- Primary user workflow · Illustrative
- Accept input → run the AI path → apply evaluation or guardrails → return result or fallback → record operational notes.
- Functional scope · Illustrative
- Evaluation criteria, security and data-handling notes, failure modes, tests for AI workflows, and deployment/ops documentation.
- Technical components · Illustrative
- Existing or sample AI feature, evaluation cases, fallback path, logging, and ops notes.
- Data requirements · Illustrative
- Non-production sample data. Sensitive data handling rules must be written even when using synthetic inputs.
- Testing expectations · Illustrative
- Success case, unsupported or unsafe input case, dependency failure fallback, and documented evaluation results.
- Known limitations · Illustrative
- Does not grant access to Vasiva client systems. Does not certify production compliance for regulated domains.
- What counts as completion · Illustrative
- Evaluation suite, failure handling, security/ops notes, and a demonstration of reliability trade-offs.
Examples
- AI feature with evaluation suite, failure handling, and ops notes
Deliverables
- Evaluation suite or case set
- Failure-handling path
- Security and ops notes
Example or assigned project work—not a published student achievement or employment guarantee. Student work is not assumed for commercial use without appropriate agreements. Sections marked illustrative are representative examples, not a fixed commercial brief.
Evaluation criteria
How work is reviewed — clarity of decisions matters as much as a working MVP.
- Reliability and security-focused project rubric
Evaluation focuses on observable engineering evidence. Exact rubrics are published per program when approved.
01
Main workflow correctness
Does the primary user journey work as specified?
02
Code comprehension
Can the participant explain what the code does and why?
03
Architecture explanation
Are component boundaries and trade-offs articulated clearly?
04
Input validation
Are invalid inputs rejected or handled safely?
05
Testing
Are expected behavior and at least one failure mode checked?
06
Edge-case handling
Does the work account for realistic non-happy-path conditions?
07
Documentation
Can another engineer set up, run, and understand the MVP?
08
Demonstration
Is the working result shown with an honest account of limitations?
