AI Fundamentals Workshop
From First Principles to Practical Prototypes
Learn the core concepts of AI through hands-on, code-first sessions — tailored for real engineering and business workflows.
This workshop is designed for technical teams, engineers, and innovation leaders who want to understand and apply AI without the hype. We move fast, stay practical, and keep everything grounded in your world.
🧠What You'll Learn — 7 Core Sessions
Machine Learning Basics
Linear models, classification, regression — what’s under the hood of modern AI
Prototype: A simple performance prediction tool using real-world engineering data
Dimensionality Reduction with PCA
Find patterns in messy, high-dimensional datasets
Prototype: Use PCA to analyze simulation results or sensor logs for insight
Intro to Neural Networks
What they are, how they learn, and where to use them
Prototype: Train a small MLP to predict outcomes from design parameters
Text Prediction and Language Models
How models like GPT complete and generate text
Prototype: Auto-complete for documentation or internal report writing
Image Generation with Diffusion Models
The tech behind tools like Midjourney and DALL·E
Prototype: Generate concept visuals from text (F1 shapes, CAD sketches, etc.)
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
Combine LLMs with your documents and databases
Prototype: Search and summarize your design standards and knowledge base in real-time
Embeddings + Prompt Engineering for Custom Workflows
Turn text, code, and files into vectors that LLMs can reason with
Why custom prompts outperform “one-size-fits-all” tools
Prototype: AI assistant trained on your internal data, optimized for specific team tasks
🔧 Why It Works
Code-first, prototype-driven
You’ll leave with working examples, not just theory.Tailored prompts for real workflows
We show how to build custom prompt systems tuned to your business — not general-purpose fluff.Practical, not academic
This isn’t research — it’s a toolkit you can deploy immediately.
