Artificial Intelligence for Civil Engineers.

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.
