• Machine Learning in Engineering

This module introduces students to the recent advances in artificial intelligence, machine
learning, and cutting-edge deep learning methods. Students will learn how to examine
the technologies that apply to various aspects of engineering, such as searching and
planning algorithms, supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning,
deep neural networks, convolution neural networks, recurrent neural networks, and
generative adversarial network.

The module aims to equip students with key knowledge and understanding of their
application in industrial robots, smart manufacturing, predictive maintenance, design
optimisation and digital twin. Students will also learn how to implement the machine
learning algorithms by practicing this in our labs, keeping the legal, social and ethical
considerations in mind when applying machine learning technologies.

On successful completion of this module, students will be able to demonstrate the impact
of emerging machine learning technologies by understanding the underlying principles of
machine learning, typical algorithms, and deep learning methods. Students will be able
to analyse real-world problems, such as design optimisation, manufacturing process
optimisation, fault diagnosis and prognosis, and be able to design machine learning
models to solve them.
