The career benefits of engineers learning innovation tools and methods through application at UIC
Having a ‘predictive instead of reactive’ approach to business problems is what gives companies a competitive edge. According UIC College of Engineering Senior Lecturer, Mark Hallenbeck, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning is what will help them achieve this.
Hallenbeck sets engineering students up for success by teaching the Online Master of Engineering with a focus area in AI and Machine Learning (MEng) course, MENG 407 Innovation Tools and Methods. Working with students to take an idea and turn it into a validated concept, Hallenbeck believes the best way to learn innovation tools and methods is by applying them. Engineering students can look forward to working on their own projects, prototyping solutions, and collaborating with their peers.
