The project is designed to equip students in biological and agricultural engineering technology, biological and agricultural engineering and other STEM disciplines with essential AI literacy, ethical communication competencies and hands-on experience using emerging AI tools, such as ChatGPT, Midjourney and domain-specific AI applications in agriculture and engineering. However, this workshop is open to undergraduate and graduate students in STEM, communication, design and related fields. Students interested in AI literacy, ethical technology use, science communication or interdisciplinary collaboration will benefit from the program. Prior technical experience with AI tools is not required.
