Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming engineering workflows, but its true impact may not be where many people expect. AI is increasing engineers’ learning speed, analytical capability, and productivity. Reliability engineering has traditionally required years of experience, deep statistical understanding, and significant software development effort to transform concepts into practical tools. Today, Generative AI combined with modern development environments such as PyCharm and lightweight application frameworks like Streamlit and Dash is changing this paradigm.

This seminar explores how engineers can use Generative AI not only to learn reliability concepts faster, but also to rapidly prototype reliability analyses, generate Python code, build interactive dashboards, and create practical engineering applications with unprecedented speed. Through practical demonstrations, attendees will see how AI can assist with topics such as Weibull analysis, creation of design guidelines, and investigation of damage mechanisms.

The session will also address an essential question: how can engineers responsibly use AI while avoiding hallucinations, incorrect assumptions, and statistical misuse? While AI can significantly accelerate engineering workflows, engineering judgment, validation, and understanding of physics remain fundamental.

Whether you are a reliability engineer, quality engineer, product developer, or technical leader, this seminar will provide practical insights into how AI-assisted engineering workflows may reshape the future of reliability engineering. If you are curious about how Generative AI can become a practical engineering companion rather than just a buzzword, this seminar is for you.

There is an old saying that includes something about two ears and one mouth. It suggests listening twice as much as speaking. Or, to listen more. We listen in one way or another, yet it’s not a skill taught specifically to engineers. Yet, it is a vital skill to have as a reliability engineer.

Let’s examine the different ways one can listen, when it’s useful, and how to become a much better listener. To do our job as reliability engineers, we need not only to hear what is expected of us, but also to fully understand requests, outcome criteria, priorities, and much more. Improving your ability to listen will accelerate your ability to add value with what you focus on and accomplish.

NWe often face questions, such as: “How long will this last?”, “Will this design survive for at least 5 years?”, and “When should we recommend servicing or replacement?” Being able to provide life estimates is a common skill we need to master.

Life testing is not the only method available to us. We can provide a guess (based on engineering judgement), to modeling and simulation, to field data analysis. And, there are more suitable methods depending on the particular situation.

Let’s explore the range of options available to estimate life for an item, plus the pros and cons of each method. You need to be aware of your options and thus be able to provide the best estimates when asked.
