About This Course

This course explores the most advanced surfaces of the Claude ecosystem, where Claude shifts from chatbot to coworker. Through realistic scenarios from the Maple Creek Bridge Replacement Project, participants apply six capabilities built for engineering practice. Voice Mode turns drive time and site time into productive dictation and thinking sessions. Vision Mode makes every photo and scan answerable, from progress photos to boring logs. Cowork delegates multistep jobs across whole project folders, making your absence productive for the first time. Code lets you describe a tool in plain English and keep working software. Plugins deliver installable expertise in one click. Claude Science offers a report from the research frontier. The course confronts the accountability question directly: delegation never includes the seal. What you hand to an agent is the reading and the assembly; what you keep is the judgment and the responsibility. Every output remains a draft for review by a licensed engineer.

Topics Covered:

  • Claude Voice Mode: Dictation and Thinking Time Away From the Keyboard
  • Claude Vision Mode: Photo Analysis, Scans, and Field Documentation
  • Claude Cowork: Delegating Multistep Jobs Across Project Folders
  • Claude Code: Describing Tools in Plain English and Keeping the Software
  • Claude Plugins: Installable Expertise for Firm Workflows
  • Claude Science and the Research Frontier
  • Agentic Accountability: Delegation, Verification, and the Engineering Seal

Learning Objectives:

  • Explain how agentic capabilities differ from conversational AI in scope and risk.
  • Identify field and office workflows that are well suited for voice, vision, and delegation.
  • Apply Voice Mode and Vision Mode to convert site visits and photos into structured records.
  • Analyze whole project folders through delegated multistep Cowork assignments.
  • Evaluate custom tools built with Claude Code and installable Plugins for firm adoption.
  • Assess accountability, verification, and liability boundaries for agentic work.
  • Develop supervision practices that keep the seal, the judgment, and the responsibility with the engineer.

Who Will Benefit/Target Audience:

This course is designed for civil engineers, project engineers, project managers, engineers in training, technologists, and firm leaders across structural, geotechnical, transportation, municipal, and construction practice who want to understand and apply Claude to improve productivity, accuracy, documentation, and decision support.

Prerequisite Knowledge:

No prior experience with Claude is required; however, familiarity with basic Claude chat use and common civil engineering project workflows will be beneficial.
