Prompt Engineering

Presenter: Cecile Cres
When: Friday, November 6, 2026 at 10:00 AM

This workshop introduces participants to the art of communicating effectively with large language models. Attendees will learn the fundamentals of prompt structure, including how to write clear instructions, provide context, and use examples to guide model output. The workshop covers key concepts such as context and context windows, and how understanding these limitations can improve the quality and relevance of AI-generated responses. Participants will also explore techniques like chain-of-thought prompting, role assignment, iterative refinement, and strategies for reducing ambiguity and hallucination. Through hands-on practice, the attendees will be able to gain the skills needed to craft effective prompts for various academic or personal applications.
