Modern engineering systems generate massive amounts of sensor data, simulations, logs, and performance metrics; far more than teams can manually analyze. AI helps engineers cut through this complexity, uncovering early warnings, hidden patterns, and system behaviors that traditional tools often miss. It accelerates testing, improves reliability, and supports better decisions across the entire product lifecycle.

This course introduces how AI can complement engineering workflows in modeling and simulation, production, and real‑time operations. You’ll see how data‑driven reduced‑order models and physics‑informed machine learning speed up simulation; how virtual sensors extend what you can measure; and how computer vision, anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, and digital twins improve quality and reliability from design throughout the lifecycle. You'll also learn foundational responsible‑AI principles, such as explainability, interpretability, and observability, so you can evaluate AI‑generated insights and build trust in the systems you develop. By the end, you’ll be able to identify where AI can meaningfully support your work and confidently discuss opportunities and trade‑offs with technical teams. Enroll to gain a clear, high‑level perspective on AI’s role in engineering and begin exploring how it can enhance your work.

Frequently asked questions

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
