Navigating the balance of AI and human expertise in engineering

25-07-2025 | Mouser Electronics | Industrial

Mouser Electronics, Inc. has released its latest instalment of the Empowering Innovation Together (EIT) technology series, AI-powered engineering. This instalment explores the balancing act of utilising the capabilities of AI with human expertise. AI-powered tools are now allowing engineers to streamline complex design processes with unprecedented precision.

By offloading time-consuming analysis and surfacing design insights more quickly, AI enables engineers to focus on what they do best: solving complex challenges, pushing technical boundaries, and crafting innovative solutions. As generative intelligence and predictive modelling become more advanced, the synergy between human insight and HMI is redefining how engineering problems are approached and how quickly innovations can reach the market. With proper utilisation, engineers can push boundaries, innovate more freely, and ultimately deliver more robust and sophisticated solutions. This human-centric approach to AI integration assures that technology becomes a trusted collaborator. Engineers remain at the heart of every breakthrough, equipped with the tools to move faster, think bigger, and innovate with greater confidence than ever before.

In 'The Tech Between Us' podcast, host Raymond Yin, Mouser director of Technical Content, is joined by Nemanja Jokanovic, head of sales at SnapMagic, to examine the evolution of engineering tools with recent AI integration and how it has impacted the future of design. The podcast features Nirman Dave, CEO of Zams, as he discusses key factors in determining the quality of AI platforms, the benefits of low-code/no-code programs, and how AI-based tools can be utilised to enhance designs.

"AI is revolutionising the engineering workflow, enabling us to achieve unprecedented levels of accuracy and efficiency," said Yin. "The future lies in creating harmony between human ingenuity and the capabilities provided by AI-powered tools. This instalment examines how engineers can master that collaboration to pioneer innovations the world has yet to imagine."

In addition to the podcast, the EIT series includes in-depth videos, technical articles, topic-related infographics, and subscriber-exclusive content, exploring how engineers can build a symbiotic relationship between their knowledge and intelligently powered tools. By examining this relationship with AI, the series delivers engineering professionals the knowledge to develop a new wave of innovative solutions.
