If you’re an engineer who’s been meaning to get more out of AI, our next Technical Development Series event is for you.

TDS #2: AI for Engineers is open to early- and mid-career engineers of any discipline. We’ll cover context engineering, turning your own reports and notes into presentation-ready slides and diagrams, low-code ways to use AI at work, agentic workflows where AI plans and carries out multi-step tasks, and the guardrails that keep it all safe.

The morning wraps with a project showcase and a panel. It’s also our GLEDA mentor/mentee reveal.
