Learn AutoCAD at BESTECH SOLUTIONS
In today’s modern life, engineering design is the basis of just about everything we see and touch. It is easy to see the designing behind cars, air planes, television, etc. On the other side, not many people realize that there is engineering designing process behind the road in front of your house, the bridge that we cross, the structure in our office buildings and the systems that create the comfort in our work environment. So designing means continuously changing the geometry of the model and makes it suitable at every place. As for engineering students of Mechanical, Civil and Electrical fields there are many designing software available for enhancing their employability and technical skills. However, whenever we ask from someone senior about which designing software is good for us as a beginner? They replied to AutoCAD. Well they all are right as AutoCAD is one of the widely used software around the world by manufacturing, construction and designing industries. AutoCAD often referred to as Father of Designing and Drafting software. The distinct feature of this software is way it functions, ease to understand and very much friendly to user. AutoCAD has reduced the time engineers must spend making manual drawings. Learning this software not only makes you good designer but also generates curiosity to learn more. AutoCAD allows the user to understand all the basic aspects of designing whether it is 2D, 3D or Isometric modeling which will be very helpful in going to advanced courses. The software enables users to create documentation for their design. This is a major benefit to taking AutoCAD classes and learning how this documentation is developed, helping others understand what is involved in the design with ease.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

14. 14
Production engineering is a combination of
manufacturing technology with management
science.
A production engineer typically has a wide
knowledge of engineering practices and is aware of
the management challenges related to production.
The goal is to accomplish the production process in
the smoothest, most-judicious and most-
economic way.
15. 15
It integrates people into the
design and development
of systems,
thus requiring an
understanding of the
physical, physiological,
psychological, and other
characteristics
that govern and affect the
performance of
individuals and groups in
working environments.
Engineering is a Teamwork
16. 16
Mechanics
In the most general sense, it is
the study of forces and their
effect upon matter.
Mechanics is used to analyze and
predict the acceleration and
deformation of objects under
known forces (also called loads)
or stresses.
17. 17
Kinematics
It is the study of the motion of
bodies and systems, while
ignoring the forces that cause the
motion.
Example: The movement of a
crane and the oscillations of a
piston in an engine
18. 18
Thermodynamics
Engineering thermodynamics is
concerned with converting energy
from one form to another.
Engines, for instance, convert the
stored energy in molecules, into heat
and then into mechanical work that
eventually turns the wheels.
19. 19
Engineering Graphics
Drafting or technical drawing is the means by which
mechanical engineers create instructions for
manufacturing. Graphics is the language of the
engineer.
Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) programs allow the
designer to create three dimensional drawings.
20. 20
Mechatronics
It is an inter-disciplinary branch of
mechanical engineering, electronics
engineering and software engineering that
is concerned with integrating electronics
and mechanical engineering to create
hybrid systems.
A good example is a CD-ROM drive.
Mechanical systems open and close
the drive, spin the CD and move the
laser
An optical system reads the data on
the CD and converts it to bits.
Integrated software controls the
process and communicates the
contents of the CD to the computer.
21. 21
Robotics
It is the interdisciplinary area which
manufactures robots, to perform tasks that they
are trained to do. Robots may be of any shape
and size. They are
preprogrammed and
interact physically with the world.
To create a robot, an engineer typically uses
kinematics, mechanics, control systems and
manufacturing techniques.
22. 22
It is a technology that produces miniaturized mechanical and
electro-mechanical devices and structures that are made using the
techniques of microfabrication.
Examples:
MEMS accelerometers have displaced conventional accelerometers
for crash air-bag deployment systems in automobiles.
Pressure sensors (in the medical sector) are disposable sensors used
to monitor blood pressure in IV lines of patients in intensive care.
MEMS gyroscopes (i.e., rate sensors) have been developed for both
automobile and consumer electronics applications (Global position
system sensors).
Sensors built into the fabric of an airplane wing so that it can sense
and react to air flow by changing the wing surface resistance.
Optical switching devices that can switch light signals over
different paths at 20-nanosecond switching speeds.
23. 23
Nanotechnology
It is the engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale.
It focuses on tailor making materials and systems with desired
properties by modifying the fundamental building blocks of
matter, that is , molecules and atoms.
Example of Application of Nanotechnology in Engineering:
A medical device that travels through the human body to seek out
and destroy small clusters of cancerous cells before they can
spread.
