Webinar details
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming part of everyday engineering practice. From smart sensors and embedded systems to industrial automation and intelligent machines, engineers are now working with AI enabled technologies in real world applications. This webinar explores how AI is transforming modern engineering systems, not as abstract theory, but as practical tools integrated into sensing, control, and decision making processes.
The session highlights how smart sensors, edge intelligence, and hybrid AI approaches are reshaping robotics, automation, and advanced engineering systems. It also examines where AI adds real value for engineers, how intelligent machines are evolving toward greater autonomy, and what skills will define the next generation of engineering practice. This webinar is ideal for engineers, students, and professionals who want to understand how AI is being embedded into real engineering solutions across industries.
