PRACTICAL AI FOR PROFESSIONALS -- WHERE AI IS ACTUALLY DELIVERING VALUE

#spokane #WORKSHOP #AI

IEEE Spokane is proud to co-sponsor an educational and comprehensive Workshop on Practical AI for Professionals  – a virtual event, co-sponsored by the Rohde-Schwarz Corporation and IEEE Spokane.   Founded 90 years ago, Rohde-Schwarz has expanded worldwide over time, today including innovative divisions ranging from electronic test and measurement equipment to quantum computing. 

This event, presented by Rohde & Schwarz experts, will be a concise, practical session on making AI a genuinely useful tool in your professional workflow – not just a smarter search box.  The session digs into prompt engineering from a professional’s perspective: how framing a prompt like a requirements document – with context, specific outputs, examples, and reasoning – dramatically changes the quality of results across tasks like specification review, debugging, datasheet Q&A, and test-plan drafting.

Persistent 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 capturing value in documentation, code, and knowledge retrieval – and the honest caveats around justification, IP handling, and where AI still shouldn’t be trusted.  You’ll come away with concrete habits you can put to work immediately!

• Prompt engineering techniques tailored for professional tasks
• How to scope prompts for spec review, debugging, and test planning
• Using persistent AI Projects to eliminate repetitive context-setting
• Where professional teams are capturing real value with AI today
• Honest limits: verification, IP considerations, and trust boundaries
