Prompt Engineering & Analytics

Prompt Engineering & Analytics

Transforming Data into Actionable Insights with Code, ML, and Visualization Tools

Duration: 2 days

With the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs), industries are shifting towards more automated, intelligent ways to generate insights and code efficiently. In the highly competitive semiconductor industry, engineers need to stay ahead by leveraging these advanced models not only for analytics but also for prompt-based code generation. This two-day intensive course bridges prompt engineering, coding, machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and data visualization to help engineers unlock the full potential of their log files and CSV datasets.

The course is specially tailored for engineering professionals, focusing on building skills for automated code generation, data manipulation, and analytics-driven decision-making. Participants will also explore how to use LLMs to automate tasks and develop predictive models, all while working with practical datasets, such as logs and CSV files. This is not just an academic course—your instructor, with over 30 years of industry experience, will guide you through real-world scenarios and practical applications, helping you implement cutting-edge solutions at work.
