Bachelor of Engineering Science in Mechanical Engineering and Artificial Intelligence Systems

Western University

Mechanical engineers use AI techniques to create complex designs and create simulations for complex, dynamic systems. In addition to the courses that are common between various AISE streams, mechanical engineering students will take courses that are specific to Intelligent Manufacturing. The courses circumscribed to this area will cover advanced topics related to the implementation of AI in automated monitoring and optimization of manufacturing processes as well as material development targeting efficient transportation to be achieved via lightweight designs coupled with low carbon emission fabrication methods.Western’s Artificial Intelligence Systems Engineering (AISE) program is a five year concurrent degree program, that will train today’s engineers in the required modern tools to meet increasing employment demands and maximize opportunities for graduates.Students will be educated in the fundamentals of AI, deep learning, online learning, algorithms, and data structure to solve engineering problems. Through project-based courses and case study methods, they will learn to apply AI to problems and challenges unique to their sectors.Graduates of the program will understand the characteristic behaviour of AI models and will be capable of providing accountability in professional engineering environments. They will develop advanced skills to ensure their models are understood and deployed safely and responsibly, while also being able to evaluate the applicability of their model’s predictions.
