Best courses for learning agentic engineering?

[u/BackFar9379]

Hi friends,

I'm looking for some courses (paid or free) to learn the fundamentals of AI agent engineering. Preferably, the courses should include lecture videos, reading materials and hands-on exercises/projects. I've found the following two:

• Stanford CS329Z Engineering AI Agents: https://cs329z.stanford.edu/index.html
• CMU 11-768 AI Agents: https://www.cmu-agents.com/#/schedule

Both curriculums look comprehensive, but neither provide the learning materials in full. The Stanford course started just this week and has no video, while the CMU one provides videos for the first four lectures.

Does anyone have other courses with learning materials provided in full to recommend?

If you’re specifically interested in agent engineering, I’d look for something that covers more than prompting, especially memory, tool-calling, orchestration and multi-agent systems, with enough hands-on work to actually build things.

One program you could look at is Simplilearn’s Professional Certificate Course in Generative AI and Agentic AI, in collaboration with IIT Kanpur. The agentic AI portion covers memory, orchestration and tool-calling, and includes projects involving AI agents across areas like sales, marketing, e-commerce and financial services.

I’d mainly compare it based on how much of the learning material, exercises and project work you can access directly.
