# Event Details - **Event Name**: Practical AI Use-Cases for Structural Engineers: Opportunities and Pitfalls - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 17 Sep, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Thu, 17 Sep, 2026 at 08:30 pm (-06:00) - **Event Description**: Join us for our first dinner/presentation for the 2026/27 CSCE Edmonton season at the University Club! Special Student's Night rate as well!About this EventProject Profile:Artificial intelligence is already reshaping day-to-day structural engineering practice, from generative and parametric design tools that explore framing options in minutes, to AI assisted code-checking, drafting assistants, and QA reviews that flag inconsistencies before they reach a stamped drawing. This talk looks at where these tools have a valuable place on design teams today, and where special care is required to implement them responsibly. Steven Oosterhof and Eric Duong will share firsthand experience leading DIALOG’s structural engineers in discovering and implementing AI-assisted workflows on live structural projects: what has sped up delivery, what new errors it has introduced, and how quality control has had to adapt in response. The discussion stays grounded in practical judgment rather than hype: knowing when a tool's output can be trusted, when it needs independent verification, and where human engineering judgment remains irreplaceable. Attendees will leave with a clearer, current picture of what AI can responsibly do for an engineering practice today, and what pitfalls to watch for as adoption accelerates.Presenters:Steven Oosterhof, Ph.D, P.Eng., PE., SE. | Structural Engineer, PartnerSteven Oosterhof is a Structural Engineering and Partner at DIALOG, based in Edmonton.
