Courses

AI-Supported Product Development
Arthur Seibel
Es wird zunächst der allgemeine Prozess zur Entwicklung technischer Produkte und Systeme nach VDI-Richtlinie 2221 eingeführt. Anschließend werden zur Unterstützung der einzelnen Aktivitäten im Prozessablauf geeignete Methoden der Künstlichen Intelligenz (KI) vorgestellt und praxisnah angewandt. Einen wesentlichen Schwerpunkt bilden dabei Large-Language-Modelle bei allen textbasierten Aktivitäten. Im Bereich der gestalterischen Aktivitäten werden Konzepte des Supervised und des Unsupervised Learning vorgestellt und diskutiert.

Research Forum Engineering
Arthur Seibel
The Research Forum is held as a joint event for all four doctoral programs of the Faculty of Management and Technology, as part of the M&T PhD Conference Day. The individual Research Forums of each program are organized as parallel tracks, allowing participants to move freely between them. This format is intended to encourage attendees to look beyond their own field of expertise by attending presentations from other disciplines.

The M&T PhD Conference Day always takes place on the last Friday of the lecture period each semester on the campus of Leuphana University Lüneburg. The official invitations are sent out shortly via myStudy.
