ACEC Monthly Membership Meeting - February 2026

Description

Title: Generative AI in Engineering: A Primer.

Description: This presentation will give you a summary of how tools like ChatGPT and Co-Pilot work under the hood. Once you understand how they tick, you should walk away with a better understanding of what prompts will make you more efficient and which pitfalls to avoid. After a broad summary of the tools, we will present a couple of “case studies” of how we have used GenAI in our own work, with their costs and benefits, as well as Artificial Intelligence's place in engineering
