AI for Architects and Engineers: A Crash Course in Our Agentic Future

This On Demand CEU is a recorded presentation from a previously live webinar event. This session is built on a simple idea: knowledge reduces fear. AI is moving fast, but the core ideas are simpler than they seem. The firms that understand this shift first will be better positioned to lead it. Agents are becoming a new operating layer inside companies, and many professionals will increasingly spend less time doing repetitive work and more time directing, reviewing, and improving work done by agents.

We will break down how modern AI actually fits together: models, agents, skills, tools, workflows, subagents, tokens, and protocols like MCP that connect agents to business systems. We will discuss real products, real use cases, and how work is moving from manual execution toward orchestration, supervision, and system design across design, engineering, operations, and delivery.

This is not a hype session. It is a planning session. We will cover what leaders need to understand about agent-readable and agent-writable systems, interoperability, audit trails, access control, workforce change, and the governance required to adopt AI responsibly, effectively, and without losing control.
