DSPE Knowledgeday

Learn how AI in Engineering develops at ASML, Sioux and TU/e


About this event

 On November 5th we are organizing a knowledgeday for members of DSPE to inform them about the (im-) possibilities of applying AI in mechanical- and system design. The program will combine three different views and a number of practical use cases.

Intended audience: precision engineers and system engineers.

Theme: “AI & (mechanical) design”

This knowledge exchange afternoon is intended to inform the DSPE members about the (im-) possibilities of applying AI in mechanical- and system design, from three different views and a number of practical use cases. Intended audience: precision engineers and system engineers.

Location:  Fontys Lecture Hall 4th floor, Fontys Engineering building NEXUS, TU/e Campus Groene Loper.

 

Speakers:

1. Prof. dr.  Theo Hofman, TU Eindhoven
