AI Leaders of Tomorrow puts students inside real regional companies

Field notes

The program connects student teams with named operating companies and assigns each engagement a company champion who approves the project material shown publicly. Documented examples include a PLEX and Paperless Parts text-to-SQL system, a pipeline that converts 2D engineering drawings into parametric SOLIDWORKS feature trees, and a three-agent workflow for RFQs involving ITAR, NSN, and ASTM requirements. The site also emphasizes that most fellows are not computer science majors.
