→ A new way of thinking, designing, and innovating
👤 Why can you trust the author?
My name is Yacouba Marc DEMBELE, a mechanical design engineer with over 3 years of freelance experience, and I have collaborated with clients in more than 22 countries worldwide: the United States, France, Belgium, Germany, Canada, Switzerland, Morocco, Mali, Algeria… and many others.
But above all, I don’t speak from theory.
I speak from real-world experience.
I have worked on real, concrete projects delivered to demanding clients across various fields:
automotive, aerospace, medical, agriculture, and industrial sectors.
I have also:
• organized a hands-on training program on mechanical design freelancing that attracted participants from all over the world
• trained engineers and students on key tools such as SolidWorks and CATIA V5
👉 This book was born from a simple observation:
AI is arriving fast—very fast…
and many engineers don’t know how to integrate it intelligently into their daily work.
What you’ll find here is not alarmist discourse, nor unrealistic promises.
It is the vision of an engineer who:
• practices design daily
• tests tools in real conditions
• observes the evolution of the profession on the ground
• and shares a clear methodology to remain relevant in the age of AI
📌 This book is not written by an “AI guru.”
📌 It is written by an engineer, for engineers.
And that’s exactly why it makes the difference.
⏳The future of engineering is being built NOW.
Every day without understanding AI
is an opportunity you let slip away.
👉 Read this book. Understand. Anticipate.
And become the engineer the future demands. 🚀
