Introduction to Classification in Engineering
Classification is a crucial concept in engineering data science, where the goal is to assign items or events to predefined categories based on their features. In engineering, you might need to classify materials based on properties like density and hardness, or detect faults in machinery by analyzing sensor readings. For example, suppose you have a dataset of materials, each with measurements such as density and tensile strength, and you want to identify whether a sample belongs to material type A, B, or C. Classification algorithms help automate this process, improving accuracy and efficiency in engineering workflows.

The process of classification involves several steps. First, you collect and organize your data, ensuring each item has measurable features relevant to the problem, such as density and tensile_strength for materials. Next, you select a classification algorithm—here, k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) from scikit-learn is used. You train the algorithm on labeled examples, allowing it to learn the relationship between features and categories. Once trained, the classifier can predict the category of new, unseen samples. In material identification, this means you can input the properties of an unknown sample and receive a prediction of its material type, streamlining tasks like quality control or inventory sorting in engineering contexts.
