Learning have a game-changingcontribution to industrial and engineering-related problems. This technology will completely changethe future of many industries through a transformational increase of the efficiency and accuracy ofthe problem solving. The contributions of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to manyengineering industries can be summarized in two classes:Class One: Minimization or avoidance of assumptions, interpretations, and simplifications to buildhighly realistic models of the physical phenomena.Class Two: Minimization of computational footprint of the numerical models such that they can actin a realistic and practical manner.There are major differences between modeling and solving Engineering versus Non-engineeringrelated
