Program Overview
This interactive workshop introduces engineering and consulting professionals to the fundamentals and applications of Generative AI (GenAI). Tailored to civil, electrical, and construction-focused roles, the session explores how GenAI can automate tasks such as drawing analysis, budget estimation, and technical report writing. Through hands-on activities and group exercises, participants will learn effective prompting techniques and use free AI tools like Edraw.AI and ChatGPT to reduce manual workload and enhance productivity. The session closes with practical next steps to begin integrating GenAI into real-world workflows.
