FDP 02 — AI-Native Full-Stack System Design (60-Hour Faculty Programme)

A 60-hour Faculty Development Programme for CS/IT faculty, across 24 design studios. Participants design Chalk — a learning platform for 42 affiliated colleges and 180,000 students — through distributed systems, microservices, API design, caching and queues, scalability, ML system design, serving generative AI, and observability. Every design decision must survive a number and name its failure, and every module ships a classroom-ready teaching kit with a lab, exam questions with marking schemes, a lecture outline, and a syllabus mapping. Includes a recurring drill on critiquing AI-generated architecture — now a core examination skill.
