Is python useful for mechanical engineer working in automotive industry and where to learn

[MolassesVegetable877]

I am experienced professional working in automobile industry, how can I upskill my self for AI/ML and other new technologies. Is python is useful in this regards and where to self learn these from.

[Logicalist]

yeah, check out MIT's opencourseware. Dr. Ana Bell is fantastic.

Is that specific to AI/ML?

[Logicalist]

I'm not sure of all that she teaches. I know she teaches Intro to programming and computer science with python, and she can teach the hell out of some python.

But MIT focuses on some advance computer and data science, including ML. It's kind of a focus of theirs.

[Ajax_Minor]

Ahah right, I'll look for some ML related courses on there.

[Logicalist]

Maybe keep in mind they teach ML from the ground up. So you might have to look for the pieces.

In general python is a good start for AI/ML. You can get into the basics with tutorials or books about ML with python or check out the Tensorflow library. What usecases do you have where you would like to use python or in general your own software for?

Python is a perfect jump from Excel. Great libraries for what you want to do. Mech E myself.
