Applying AI to MechE Fueled by friendly competition, students in the popular MIT course 2.155/156 (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Engineering Design) apply AI theory to real-world engineering design challenges, from bike frames to city grids. The class has “opened the curtains” on machine learning, says graduate student Ilan Moyer.

Dockser Marcus notes research at the MIT AgeLab is focused on “finding ways to improve life for the elderly,” and writes that the AGNES suit provided a “greater insight into what it is really like to age — and what I could do to prepare.” Full story via The Wall Street Journal→ Time 100 AI 2025 // Time MIT Dean of Digital Learning Cynthia Breazeal SM ’93, ScD ’00; Professor Regina Barzilay; Assistant Professor Priya Donti; and a number of MIT alumni have been named to Time’s 100 AI 2025 list. The list spotlights “innovators, leaders, and thinkers reshaping our world through groundbreaking advances in artificial intelligence.”  Full story via Time → Happenings A selection of this week’s community events: — Monday, Sept. 8, 3:30-5 p.m. | Office of the President presents MIT Community Ice Cream Social: Welcoming Provost Anantha Chandrakasan — Tuesday, Sept. 9, 10:00 a.m. - 3 p.m. | MIT Open Space Programming and MIT Community Service Fund present Community Service Fund Book Sale — Tuesday, Sept. 9, 5-7 p.m. | MIT Open Space Programming, Office of Sustainability, Office of Campus Planning, MIT Police, and MIT Parking and Transportation present Bike It Up — Wednesday, Sept. 10, 12 p.m. | Teaching and Learning Lab presents Josh Brake: Cultivating a Convivial Classroom in the Age of AI — How the Technological Critics of the 20th Century Can Help Us Wisely Navigate Generative AI in Education — Thursday, Sept. 11, 6-9 p.m. | MIT Museum presents After Dark: Spacetime — Friday, Sept. 12, 7 p.m. | MIT Museum presents Plankton Performance with Jess Holz and Senem Pirler More happenings via MIT Events→ This edition of the MIT Daily was brought to you by the power of literacy on International Literacy Day. 💡 Thanks for reading, and enjoy your day! —MIT News Forward This Email Subscribe This email was sent to rh3252705.pese@blogger.com because of your affiliation with MIT, or because you signed up for our newsletters. subscribe update preferences unsubscribe view in browser MIT News Office · 77 Massachusetts Avenue · Cambridge, MA 02139 · USA
