Transform how you think, work, and analyze with structured, safe, and defensible AI workflows.
Scope Statement
Prompt Engineering for Analysts & Engineers is an intensive 2-day program built for professionals who rely on precision, reproducibility, and defensibility in their daily workflows. Designed for analysts, engineers, data professionals, and technical leaders, this course teaches practical, operationally focused prompting methods that elevate the reliability and quality of large language model (LLM) outputs.
Through a combination of self-paced learning and live instructor-led workshops, participants learn how to structure prompts, decompose complex tasks, evaluate output quality, and build reusable, automation-ready workflows. The course emphasizes accuracy, safety, ethics, and verification, ensuring learners can confidently integrate LLMs into mission and production environments.
Training culminates in a hands-on capstone scenario, where students design a complete end-to-end prompt workflow and are evaluated using an instructor-scored rubric.
During this course, you will gain the skills to:
Design structured prompting workflows
Build and evaluate reproducible LLM interactions that meet analytical and engineering requirements.
Draft high-quality prompts
Create prompts that generate consistent, context-aware, and properly formatted outputs.
Evaluate and refine AI responses
Use verification loops, evaluation criteria, and guardrails to ensure accuracy, safety, and ethical compliance.
Break down complex tasks
Translate intricate analytical or engineering problems into sequenced major and minor prompt steps.
Leverage contextual references
Integrate documents, retrieval methods, and supporting data to improve factual grounding.
Use tools and structured outputs
Employ function calling, JSON, tables, and workflow patterns to generate automation-ready results.
Develop reusable prompt templates
Apply multiple prompting strategies and patterns to build reliable frameworks for repeated use.
Operationalize your workflows
Package full prompt sequences into modular, transferable assets for team and enterprise use.
Course Format
This course uses a modular learning approach—starting with fundamentals, moving through structured prompting and evaluation, and culminating in tool-augmented workflows and a final capstone.
A blend of short asynchronous modules, live instruction, guided labs, and peer collaboration ensures each learner builds confidence in designing prompt-driven processes suitable for real-world missions and technical environments.
Capstone Assessment
Learners complete a scenario-based capstone demonstrating:
