Building Knowledge in an Interdisciplinary World
Brian Douglas, Engineering Media LLC
Engineering, science, and product development are becoming more interdisciplinary. To be successful in this environment, team members must have broad knowledge across many different fields.
With advancements in artificial intelligence and with engineering tools like MATLAB® and Simulink® providing more capability, the question becomes how much do you really need to understand about the underlying engineering and science versus just being able to run the algorithms?
One person can’t know everything, but it is often helpful to know something. We need some knowledge to be able to perform trade studies to see if a particular technology is worth pursuing, or to communicate with other teams outside of our own expertise, or to understand how these new technologies impact and interface with the products we’re responsible for.
Join Brian Douglas as he talks about what that knowledge looks like and how MATLAB Tech Talks, shipping examples, and documentation can go a long way to providing it.
