AI for Engineers Course

AI for Engineers

Learn to use leading AI tools, including Microsoft Copilot, Claude, and ChatGPT, to support everyday engineering and R&D work. This practical course covers how generative AI works, why it can produce inaccurate information, and how to ground responses in technical documents and company data. Through demonstrations and exercises, you will personalize each tool, write effective prompts, search workplace information, and choose the right AI tool for research, data analysis, and document tasks. Engineering examples include bill of materials searches, equipment and test logs, technical summaries, and preparation for design reviews. You will also explore deep research features, data analysis tools, and project workspaces that keep AI focused on your own files. Throughout the course, you will practice reviewing AI outputs and applying engineering judgment before using the results.
