Ethical Use Of Agentic And Generative AI In Engineering
This online engineering PDH course provides an introduction to agentic and generative artificial intelligence (AI) and their ethical use across the major engineering disciplines.
Generative AI creates content such as reports, images, and design options, while agentic AI goes further by making decisions and taking actions on its own. As these tools enter everyday engineering practice, engineers must make sure that their use protects public health, safety, and welfare.
This course covers the definitions and differences of agentic and generative AI, common AI use cases in civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical, software, and environmental engineering, and real-world examples that highlight ethical considerations. It also explains how to apply the engineering Code of Ethics to AI use, how engineers remain in responsible charge and keep professional accountability for all AI-assisted work, and best-practice guidelines for ethical AI integration.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to professional engineers in nearly all engineering disciplines, as well as other technical professionals who are interested in learning more about the ethical use of AI in engineering practice.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the definitions of agentic AI and generative AI and the key differences between them
- Familiarizing with common applications of agentic and generative AI in civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical, software, and environmental engineering
- Evaluating the ethical considerations raised by real-world examples of AI in engineering
- Applying the fundamental principles of the engineering Code of Ethics to the use of AI tools and systems
- Learning how engineers maintain responsible charge and professional accountability when using AI
- Familiarizing with best-practice guidelines for the ethical integration of agentic and generative AI
- Understanding the engineer’s duty to protect public health, safety, and welfare when adopting AI
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, “Ethical Use Of Agentic And Generative AI In Engineering”, prepared by Brian Lisiewski, P.E.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of ten (10) questions to earn 2 PDH credits. The quiz will be based on the entire document.
Upon successful completion of the quiz, print your Certificate of Completion instantly. (Note: if you are paying by check or money order, you will be able to print it after we receive your payment.) For your convenience, we will also email it to you. Please note that you can log in to your account at any time to access and print your Certificate of Completion.
