We’ll show how generative and agentic AI can be used within and alongside MATLAB and Simulink to help with tasks such as creating and refining code and models, exploring algorithms, running simulations, automating repetitive work, and speeding up design iterations. We’ll also introduce core agentic AI concepts and show how the MATLAB and Simulink platforms fit into these workflows.Throughout the …
UCF Research Computing & Data WorkshopsPrompt engineering is the practice of writing clear and effective instructions to get better responses from large language models (LLMs). This beginner-friendly workshop introduces the basic ideas of prompt engineering and shows how small changes in a prompt can improve the quality, accuracy, and usefulness of AI-generated responses.Participants will learn simple and practical techniques such as giving clear instructions, assigning …
UCF Research Computing & Data WorkshopsThe "shell" in Unix is a generic term for the program that provides the basic user interface to the system. Typically, this would be a command line interface, but might also include a graphical interface (e.g., "gnome shell"). This workshop will cover commands common to most variations of Unix and Unix command line interface shells.The second half of this workshop …
UCF Research Computing & Data WorkshopsHealthy data management provides a foundation for strong research. This session will introduce participants to the components of a data management plan, data management processes, the DMPTool, and data repositories. Topics include data expectations, data and metadata standards, access and sharing considerations, and data storage and preservation.This event will not be recorded. Any materials provided by the presenter will be …
UCF Research Computing & Data WorkshopsResearch involving human subjects carries obligations that extend well past IRB approval — they follow the data through collection, storage, sharing, and retention. This 60-minute virtual session brings the IRB and Information Security together to walk researchers through what those obligations look like in practice, and how to meet them without slowing a project down.The IRB portion covers what reviewers …
UCF Research Computing & Data WorkshopsLaTeX is a document preparation system widely used in academic and research communities for creating journal articles, thesis, technical reports, presentations, and other scientific documents. This hands-on workshop introduces the fundamentals of LaTeX and is intended for participants with little or no prior experience.Learning Outcomes:- Navigate Overleaf and create a new LaTeX project.- Understand the basic structure and syntax of …
UCF Research Computing & Data WorkshopsCustom AI tools used to need a software team. Now researchers and student assistants can describe what they want in plain language and have an AI coding assistant build it with them. This hands-on workshop shows you how to turn an idea into a working AI app on AWS, even if you've never written code.You'll learn a practical, AI-guided approach …
UCF Research Computing & Data WorkshopsLearn how to create clear, accurate, and effective data visualizations using Python. Participants will explore key principles of visualization design, including how to choose appropriate chart types, use color effectively, and avoid common plotting mistakes involving scales, axes, ordering, labels, and other design choices. The session will also introduce three widely used Python visualization libraries, (Matplotlib, Seaborn, Plotly), and discuss …
UCF Research Computing & Data WorkshopsA model trained on a laptop is a good start. Turning it into something your lab can run at scale and share with collaborators usually takes a lot more work. This hands-on workshop walks through the whole machine learning process on AWS, from raw data to a live model that returns predictions on demand.You'll work in a familiar notebook environment …
