Course overview

Transforming students for tomorrows workforce

This course empowers students to move beyond simple prompting tricks and develop the critical thinking, systems awareness, and AI responsibility needed to thrive in today’s evolving work environments.


Course Level: Intermediate


It’s designed for students and professionals who already understand the basics of AI tools like ChatGPT and want to level up.


You’ll move beyond simple prompt tricks to master:


- Structured prompt design using critical thinking


- Context-aware prompting with systems reasoning


- Advanced techniques like prompt chaining, parameter tuning, and bias mitigation


- Real-world AI governance frameworks (RAIMS)


If you’ve completed an intro course in prompt engineering or used AI tools in your work or studies — this is your next step.


After the course:


✅ Think critically about how to ask the right questions in AI interactions.


✅ Apply systems thinking to design context-aware, goal-aligned prompts.


✅ Use advanced prompting techniques like zero-shot, few-shot, chain-of-thought, and orchestration.


✅ Spot and correct bias, build inclusive prompts, and design with AI safety in mind.


✅ Collaborate confidently across teams and disciplines to build prompt-driven workflows.


✅ Produce a portfolio-ready capstone project demonstrating real-world AI literacy and fluency.


This transformation is anchored in the Orcawise RAIMS (Responsible AI Management System) framework, giving students not just skills, but also the professional responsibility mindset required to thrive in AI-powered workplaces.
