Training: AI in Engineering

Introduction and fundamentals for everyday engineering

Artificial intelligence opens up new possibilities in engineering, enabling the development of products more quickly, efficiently, and innovatively. Our training provides a solid introduction to key AI concepts, current developments, and future trends in the technical field. You’ll learn about the potential that generative AI and large language models (LLMs) offer specifically for engineers, from ideation and requirements management to design and testing.

Our training addresses typical real-world questions: Where do I start? Which tools are relevant? And how can I get started safely and effectively—without months of preparation? With the support of our trainers, you’ll identify specific use cases and gain a structured overview of meaningful applications for AI solutions in product development. Our trainers draw on their extensive AI expertise and practical experience to provide you with valuable insights into the successful application of AI. We’ll show you which tools and open-source platforms are already available today and how to successfully overcome typical challenges when integrating AI into existing processes. Along the way, we’ll provide insights into real-world industry projects and highlight best practices for successful AI implementation.

Through hands-on exercises, you’ll apply selected AI tools directly and gain valuable practical experience. You’ll benefit from our AI Experience Lab and can get started right away in a prepared work environment. In addition, the training provides opportunities to exchange ideas with other participants, so you can work together to develop new ideas and chart your own path toward AI-supported engineering.
