Generative AI: Prompt Engineering Essentials

Prompt engineering is the essential skillset for effectively using generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DALL·E, and more. Designed for curious professionals, creatives, educators, and entrepreneurs, this class introduces the underlying logic of how large language models respond to prompts and helps learners master the techniques that turn AI from a novelty into a productivity partner. No coding background is required—just a willingness to experiment, iterate, and learn by doing. Each session combines clear instruction with real-time practice, case studies, and collaborative exploration. Students will build a personal toolkit of prompt strategies they can apply to everyday tasks—whether drafting content, researching, brainstorming, automating communication, or creating images and workflows. By the end of the course, students will not only know what to ask AI but how to ask it to get smart, useful results.
