Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that mimics human intelligence to perform complex tasks. Machine learning is a subfield of AI that uses statistical methods to learn from data without being explicitly programmed. Deep learning is a main subset of machine learning that uses multi-layered neural networks to learn from data.
Modeling and simulation in engineering is a field that uses mathematical models as a basis for simulations to generate data analyzed for product and system design. Modeling and simulation is a knowledge-based approach that develops models to generate data, while machine learning is a data-based approach that learns from data to generate models.
The artificial intelligence, modeling and simulation (AIMS) program teaches students:
- the importance of uncertainty quantification in all methods;
- the various combinations of machine learning with modeling and simulation; and
- the notion of using hybrid models toward the design of intelligent complex machines.
The certificate is administered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
