Democratizing Data Analysis: Prompt Engineering for All Disciplines
In the AI era, the ability to collaborate with artificial intelligence is as vital as traditional coding skills. This project introduces a groundbreaking initiative at CUHK(SZ) to equip students with AI-powered problem-solving tools. By teaching prompt engineering—the art of effectively communicating tasks to AI—we eliminate the steep learning curve of programming, enabling students to focus on interpreting data rather than debugging code.
Open to all majors, especially non-technical students, the project offers 12 biweekly workshops over two semesters. Participants will learn to use free AI tools (like DeepSeek) for real-world tasks. Key outcomes include:
- 300+ trained students, bridging gaps in research and job competitiveness.
- Open-access templates for instructors to integrate AI into their courses.
- A campus-wide culture shift where AI literacy becomes foundational.
Led by an instructor with hands-on experience in AI education (via AAIL collaborations and specialized training), this project aligns with CUHK(SZ)’s mission to foster innovative, inclusive learning. Funded by TIG, it will serve as a model for scalable, interdisciplinary AI education.
