DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence is transforming how software is built\,
  but effective engineers are those who know when and how to use it without
  losing fundamentals. This session explores practical AI tools like Cursor
 \, MCP servers in real engineering workflows such as debugging\, system de
 sign\, and testing.\n\nWe focus on maintaining engineering rigor—using A
 I as a productivity multiplier while preserving core skills like problem-s
 olving and system thinking. The lecture also introduces AI agents\, their 
 real-world use cases\, limitations\, and how they differ from traditional 
 systems.\n\nParticipants will leave with a clear framework for using AI ef
 fectively\, avoiding common pitfalls\, and understanding when and how to b
 uild AI-driven workflows and agent-based systems.\n\nSpeaker(s): Hina Gand
