DESCRIPTION:IEEE Spokane is proud to co-sponsor an educational and comprehe
 nsive Workshop on Practical AI for Professionals  – a virtual event\, co
 -sponsored by the Rohde-Schwarz Corporation and IEEE Spokane. Founded 90 y
 ears ago\, Rohde-Schwarz has expanded worldwide over time\, today includin
 g innovative divisions ranging from electronic test and measurement equipm
 ent to quantum computing.\n\nThis event\, presented by Rohde &amp; Schwarz exp
 erts\, will be a concise\, practical session on making AI a genuinely usef
 ul tool in your professional workflow – not just a smarter search box. T
 he session digs into prompt engineering from a professional’s perspectiv
 e: how framing a prompt like a requirements document – with context\, sp
 ecific outputs\, examples\, and reasoning – dramatically changes the qua
 lity of results across tasks like specification review\, debugging\, datas
 heet Q&amp;A\, and test-plan drafting.\n\nPersistent context tools like Claude
  Projects\, Microsoft Copilot Agents\, and GitHub Copilot are also covered
 \, showing how a set-up-once approach eliminates repetitive re-explaining 
 and drives more consistent output across a team. Broader trends round out 
 the discussion\, including where professional teams are genuinely capturin
 g value in documentation\, code\, and knowledge retrieval – and the hone
 st caveats around justification\, IP handling\, and where AI still shouldn
 ’t be trusted. You’ll come away with concrete habits you can put to wo
 rk immediately!\n\nCo-sponsored by: Rohde-Schwarz Corporation\n\nAgenda: \
 n- Prompt engineering techniques tailored for professional tasks\n- How to
  scope prompts for spec review\, debugging\, and test planning\n- Using pe
 rsistent AI Projects to eliminate repetitive context-setting\n- Where prof
 essional teams are capturing real value with AI today\n- Honest limits: ve
 rification\, IP considerations\, and trust boundaries\n\nVirtual: https://
