Description
Artificial Intelligence for Civil Engineers
This intensive course is not just another long and general program for Computer Engineers or Data Scientists. It is specifically designed for experienced Civil Engineers who want to see the real value that Artificial Intelligence brings to civil engineering processes and products.
Designed for professionals with no prior experience in Artificial Intelligence, the course begins with a mental mapping of key AI concepts, covering different technologies and their evolution up to the latest advancements.
Course Structure
The course is divided into two sections: AI Fundamentals and AI Applications in Civil Engineering. The first part is a prerequisite for the second and must be completed in full.
AI Fundamentals
The course starts by tracing the origins of AI, linking its philosophical foundations to humanity’s earliest questions about intelligence and reasoning. It introduces key AI concepts such as:
Problem-solving
Knowledge representation
Machine learning
Perception
Natural language processing
It also highlights the role of mathematics, probability, and optimization in AI. The course then explains concepts such as Narrow Artificial Intelligence (ANI) and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), unsupervised learning, and AI models like GPTs.
AI in Construction and Civil Engineering
The second section of the course explores the latest applications of Artificial Intelligence technologies in Civil Engineering, including:
Construction Engineering
Transportation and Logistics
Urban Planning
Sustainable Energy Systems
Geotechnical Engineering
Environmental Engineering
Water Technologies
Infrastructure Operation and Maintenance
Building Information Modeling (BIM)
Structural Design and Analysis
Project Management
Railways
This course provides civil engineers with a clear understanding of how AI can be applied to infrastructure, helping them stay ahead in an evolving industry.
