Practical Data & AI for Engineers

Applied Machine Learning, Data Pipelines, and AI Integration in Engineering Projects

In today’s engineering world, data and artificial intelligence are no longer optional — they are essential. Practical Data & AI for Engineers bridges the gap between traditional engineering practice and the new era of intelligent automation, predictive analytics, and digital twins.

This hands-on guide provides a real-world, engineering-focused introduction to applied machine learning, data management, and AI-driven solutions. It shows how engineers across disciplines — electrical, mechanical, civil, and industrial — can use data pipelines, models, and automation tools to enhance design, operations, and maintenance.

What You’ll Learn

• How to collect, clean, and manage engineering data from sensors, PLCs, and SCADA systems.

• Building data pipelines for real-time monitoring and analytics.

• Practical machine learning models for predictive maintenance, fault detection, and optimization.

• AI integration strategies for control systems, HVAC, power distribution, and manufacturing.

• Tools and workflows for implementing AI at scale — from the field to the cloud.

With clear diagrams, simplified explanations, and step-by-step use cases, this book helps engineers adopt AI confidently without requiring advanced programming skills.

Whether you’re a design engineer, facility manager, or project leader, this book will guide you through every stage of your digital transformation — from understanding data sources to deploying your first AI model.
