Leveraging AI-Powered Solutions in Civil Engineering

• 2 full day or 4 x ½ day workshop for 4-15 participants or coaching for 3 or less participants
   
• Full professional certificate program and PDH available for PE ethics requirements
   
• Accelerated formats also available

In an industry where deadlines tighten while project complexity grows, forward-thinking civil engineers are discovering a powerful ally: artificial intelligence. This hands-on workshop isn't about theoretical possibilities, it's about practical applications that solve our most pressing challenges today. Designed for civil engineering professionals to walk away with implementable skills that transform how to approach design, analysis, and project management. This workshop bridges the gap between academic AI concepts and practical civil engineering needs. Every technique is demonstrated through step-by-step examples specifically designed for structural analysis, infrastructure assessment, and project optimization. In an interactive and hands-on workshop format, participants will learn and practice:

• Master neural network fundamentals using MATLAB's nnstart tool
   
• Build a neural network to accelerate engineering design tasks
   
• Evaluate unsupervised learning (clustering) algorithms
   
• Create powerful prediction models that accelerate structural design iterations
•  
• Real life examples of utilizing clustering in project management
   
• Implement unsupervised learning to reveal hidden patterns in project data
   
• Apply computer vision to automate crack detection and structural damage assessment
   

** This program can be tailored to specific industries

Details
 

• The ideal workshop size is 4–15 participants. For groups of 3 or fewer, an individualized coaching-style format is provided rather than a workshop format.
   
• Participants who complete 2 full days or more of professional development programming will receive an SMU certificate and digital badge.
   
• SMU credentials are highly valued by professionals and employers for their quality and prestige.
   
• All professional development programs and certificates are non-credit bearing and may not be applied toward credit-bearing programs.
