By the end of it, you'll probably know more about the subject than I do. I'm a master's* student on my last semester. I don't actually do any work in the area, but I've taken a couple classes on neural networks and a class on genetic algorithms. Those were my major focus.
My preferred neural network structure/design is NEAT (developed by Dr. Kenneth Stanley) and its various derivatives. If I were to work more with neural networks, I would work to expand that design. (my work interests have expanded to include other stochastic algorithms, such as Monte Carlo Localization, as well)
* I was a doctoral student, but I couldn't acquire the advisor I desired (funding) and so I reduced to master's level

what sort of neuroevolution stuff do you do, i'm a phd in that area right now
