This session introduces learners to the fundamentals and best practices of prompting and prompt engineering for generative AI systems. Participants will learn how to craft clear, structured, and context-rich prompts to improve the accuracy, relevance, and usefulness of AI-generated outputs. Through guided examples and hands-on exercises, learners will explore effective prompting principles, identify common pitfalls, and apply advanced techniques such as role-based prompting, prompt chaining, and iterative refinement. By the end of the course, participants will be able to confidently design and refine prompts for real-world business, technical, and creative use cases.
