Unlock the Power of AI/ML in Structural Engineering – A Hands-on Tutorial

Join a structural engineer and a software engineer who actively integrate AI/ML into day-to-day structural engineering work for a hands-on webinar designed to make artificial intelligence accessible to engineers of all skill levels. Whether you’re new to AI or looking to enhance your technical expertise, this session will guide you through:

• AI/ML 101: A beginner-friendly introduction to artificial intelligence and machine learning.
• Setting Up Your System: Learn how to configure your computer to run large AI models (LLMs, LVMs) and explore the pros and cons of using on-prem versus cloud services like Microsoft Azure, GCP, AWS.
• Running AI Models: Step-by-step guidance on deploying language and image-based AI models locally.
• Training ML Models for Structural Engineering: Discover how to build and fine-tune machine learning models for industry-specific tasks.

No prior AI or coding experience is required—just curiosity and a willingness to explore! This session will be helpful for structural engineers who want to understand the details of running an AI model, and will help beginner coders get a jump start with practical tips for tackling real tasks.

• Course will award 1.0 hour of continuing education
