This hands-on, “playground”-style workshop introduces students, faculty, and staff to the foundational principles of prompt engineering—an essential skill for effectively using AI tools in academic and professional contexts. Attendees will explore how to design prompts that produce accurate, relevant, and goal-aligned responses from AI systems.

You’ll gain:

• A clear understanding of key concepts like hallucination, context windows, and prompt-response dynamics.
• Practical strategies for refining prompts using frameworks such as CLEAR, CREATE, TRACI, and RISEN.
• Tools to evaluate prompt quality based on consistency, clarity, and alignment with intended outcomes.
• Guidance for maintaining academic integrity through responsible AI use, including when AI use may conflict with institutional policies.

No matter your starting point, this workshop empowers you to build prompts with confidence, clarity, and integrity.
