Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Unconventional Engineering Episode 25: “3D Printing and Leading the Next Industrial Shift” with Nora Toure
Q: What trends should engineers pay attention to in the additive space?
Medical applications drive near-term impact, but automotive and aerospace remain strategic; engineers should stay curious, seek practical ROI, and push for leadership to invest in new workflows.
Unconventional Engineering Episode 25: “3D Printing and Leading the Next Industrial Shift” with Nora Toure
Q: What separates companies that successfully scale additive manufacturing from those that struggle?
It's about leadership being open to change, a willingness to disrupt existing workflows, and committing to long-term ROI rather than expecting instant results.
ASME Insights - "AI and the Energy Sector: Preparing Mechanical Engineers for the Future" with Dr. Arindam Banerjee
Q: What is the practical framework for embedding AI in mechanical engineering education?
Embed AI and data-driven methods into core courses (statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, fluids, controls), connect to physical labs with real equipment (heat pumps, compressors, engines, turbines), and avoid treating AI as a standalone elective.
ASME Insights - "AI and the Energy Sector: Preparing Mechanical Engineers for the Future" with Dr. Arindam Banerjee
Q: How should universities adapt curriculum to prepare students for AI in engineering?
AI literacy must become AI readiness, with curricula integrated into core courses, hands-on labs, and real-world test beds, ensuring students can adapt to rapidly evolving AI tools over their three- to four-year programs.
ASME Insights - "AI and the Energy Sector: Preparing Mechanical Engineers for the Future" with Dr. Arindam Banerjee
Q: What makes the energy sector particularly ripe for AI impact?
Energy blends physics, infrastructure, and vast data, and with electrification and renewables integration, systems become highly dynamic and complex, requiring AI-informed, data-driven decisions beyond simple calculations.
