Idaho Forest Group’s Post

On May 30th, I presented my research plan to the Mechanical Engineering researchers at Aalto University, Finland. I will be collaborating with all four research groups—Materials to Products, Mechatronics, Marine and Arctic Technology, and Energy Conversion and Systems—on developing component-level Digital Twins. These Digital Twins will estimate the remaining useful (fatigue) life of critical marine propulsion system components, helping to manage the risk of loss of propulsion (LOP) incidents by acting as a redundant component-level monitoring system. The solution framework will be flexible to be utilized for any 'high-risk' mechanical system. At the 'fidelity enhancing' stage, this will generate several PhD and Masters level topics, which will motivate me to put extra effort into seeking research funds. The personal feedback I received outside the hall was awesome! I feel I’m in the right place at the right time! 😊 #AaltoUniversity, #DigitalTwins, #Materials PS: Curious about the picture on the screen? 😊

What drives your passion for engineering? Third-year Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Mechatronic Engineering) student Has Salvesen says, "As a boy, I was obsessed with dismantling everything, from vacuum cleaners to calculators to old cameras; I was always and have always been driven to understand the inner workings of the world around me." His advice to his younger self would be to understand that "your thirst for understanding the mechanics of the world is your greatest asset. It will fuel your path through the realms of technology, leading you to find innovations that transcend conventional boundaries. Cherish your mentors, never stop asking 'why' and 'how', and let your devotion to curiosity illuminate your path." #Engineering #AI #MechatronicEngineering

In my recently published paper in the #SEFI Journal of Engineering Education Advancement (JEAA), I investigate how undergraduate first-year mechanical engineering students use Generative Artificial Intelligence (#GenAI) tools in their #programming assessments. The findings indicate that attempting to ban these tools in assessments that focus on processes like code testing or error message explanation is impractical. Instead, these tools can significantly enhance and optimize students' learning experience rather than hinder them.

It begs the question: How does the basic knowledge acquired during studies stack up against the technological landscape we navigate in our careers? 🚀 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞'𝐬 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 Back then, big transistors and integrated circuits were the highlight of our academic projects at Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg. Fast forward to today, in my current inductive charger projects at Delta Electronics EMEA, we have advanced significantly. With just a few clicks in MATLAB or CAD software, we can design, simulate, and embed complex systems into processors. This advancement represents a stark leap from the basic high-pass filters of my study days, showcasing the dramatic evolution in engineering tools and methodologies. 👨💻 From Basics to Breakthroughs in Few Clicks
 The real magic now lies in how swiftly we can bring ideas to life. The experimental setups from my bachelor's degree, focused on foundational principles, pale in comparison to today's professional tools that enable us to create, simulate, and integrate an electronic design into a processor with just a handful of clicks. Moreover, today you can map virtually anything with modern processors or directly utilise a neural network as recently done in my latest technology development to simplify the data processing, further expanding our creative and problem-solving horizons. 🌐 Engineering's Accelerated Evolution
 This shift underscores not just technological progress but a change in the engineer's role—from learning and applying basic concepts to mastering advanced tools that push the boundaries of innovation. It's a clear signal: the pace of change won't slow, and our adaptability and eagerness to learn new skills like dealing with advanced design tools or large language models to assist innovation are more crucial than ever! 👉 Reflecting on your transition from academic studies to professional engineering, how have you experienced this shift? 💬 Share a tool or skill that has significantly impacted your engineering approach in the comments below! 👍 Like if you agree that staying adaptable and forward-thinking is key in our rapidly evolving field. #EngineeringEvolution #TechTransition #EngineeringTools #MATLAB #ModernEngineering #ResearchDevelopment #InnovationInEngineering #Engineer #EngineeringFutures
