The Most Expensive Engineering Mistake (and how to avoid it)

In this episode, Judy Warner talks with Roberto Piacentini, an electrical engineer with 30+ years of experience and now Director of Global Marketing for Design Engineering Software at Keysight Technologies, about what he considers the most expensive engineering mistake, why growing design complexity is raising the stakes, and how to avoid these costly issues. They explore connected workflows, engineering silos, simulation, data, and AI-augmented tools (keeping engineers in control and putting AI in the human loop, and how these technologies can help engineers make better decisions across the design lifecycle.
