Thesis Background

Engineering reports are essential for documenting and communicating project findings, analysis, and recommendations. However, the process of writing these reports can be time-consuming and challenging. This thesis aims to develop an Engineering Report Agent, a multi-agent application powered by large language models, that assists in the construction and improvement of engineering reports. By leveraging existing agents and integrating their functionalities, the goal is to create a powerful tool that can automate parts of the report writing process.

In the field of report generation, previous research has primarily focused on the medical sector [1] [2]. However, there have also been studies exploring the automatic generation of government reports using generative AI approaches [3]. These research efforts offer valuable insights and can serve as valuable references for the development of the Engineering Report Agent.

What will you do

The primary objective of this thesis is to construct an agent that can assist in writing engineering reports. The agent should be capable of generating parts of the report, thereby enhancing the efficiency and quality of the report writing process. The thesis students will develop a multi-agent application that integrates various agents, both new and existing ones, to leverage their functionalities and improve the overall report writing experience. By harnessing the power of multiple agents, the goal is to create a comprehensive and efficient tool that can significantly aid engineers in constructing high-quality engineering reports.

If time permits, the performance of the Engineering Report Agent can be compared to a human-written report. Previous research has shown promising results for Generative AI (GPT-3.5) in report generation, but it did not outperform human-written reports [4]. This optional goal can provide valuable insights into the capabilities and limitations of the agent. The proposed Engineering Report Agent, which leverages multi-agent technology, aligns with the current trends in autonomous multi-agent systems powered by Large Language Models [5]. By integrating existing agents and developing new ones, the agent aims to streamline the construction and improvement of engineering reports by automating parts of the report writing process. While challenges such as hallucination need to be addressed, we believe that this thesis topic is highly relevant and has the potential to greatly assist engineers in generating high-quality engineering reports.

Who are you?

We are looking for highly motivated students with a passion for emerging technologies and AI, and with the ability to drive the work forward by being proactive, curious, and persistent. You should have strong analytical and programing skills.

The key qualifications include:

• Master students in Engineering Physics, Data Science, Mathematics, or related field
• Proficiency in Python programming skills
• Prior experience with Generative AI is a plus
