ENGR 345: Effective Use of AI Tools for Scientists and Engineers

Course Description

Generative AI tools like ChatGPT can be in a variety of creative ways, such as writing texts and generating images. However, to get the most from these tools, users have to prompt the system in in effective ways to get the information they desire. In this course, we will explore effective ways of using AI tools to produce the types of outputs typical of scientists and engineers, such as: learning technical information, technical writing involving mathematical and engineering analysis, producing visualizations of data, computer programming, as well as skills such as developing technical presentations and considering the societal impact of emerging technologies. This course will provide a hands-on interactive tour through different AI-based tools to develop these skills. (F, W).
