AIEngin102: Leveraging AI Prompt Engineering for Engineering Design Pedagogy
Modernizing Professional Learning Experiences
The AIENGIN102 course helps K-12 educators leverage various prompt engineering strategies alongside Microsoft Word, enabling the co-creation of "Open-Ended Engineering" lessons with AI. Through scaffolded strategies, the course supports educators in integrating engineering design thinking into their instruction, equipping them with practical tools and approaches for innovative lesson planning. The course is research based and designed to help educators innovate their classroom methods, incorporating problem-based and open engineering design lessons that prepare students for future workforce demands.
Participants will receive exemplar resources highlighting drones as an aerospace innovation, offering valuable context and inspiration for creating open-ended engineering lessons. Educators will co-design with AI their own resource tailored to local needs, incorporating key design features of high-quality instructional materials.
Upon successful completion, participants receive a Microsoft Office Specialist in Word and a professional learning certificate in AI Prompt Engineering from FSU through submission of lesson and passing post-course AI exams. A stipend is awarded to participants who successfully complete both certifications and all program requirements.
