Transform your engineering workflow by turning static standards and institutional knowledge into active, automated digital assets.
This course shows civil engineers how to move from one time answers to reusable firm assets using four Claude capabilities: Skills, Projects, Artifacts, and Design. Working through realistic scenarios from the Maple Creek Bridge Replacement Project, participants learn how Skills capture firm expertise, such as a scour review methodology or a daily field report standard, in a declarative format any team member can trigger. Projects create persistent workspaces grounded in project documents, turning a folder built for storage into a workspace built for asking. Artifacts produce interactive calculators, dashboards, and tools that teams actually use. Design produces polished decks, sites, and visuals that help small firms present at the level of large firms. The course also addresses governance questions these capabilities raise, including who curates a Project, whether artifacts count as deliverables or work product, and how captured expertise preserves institutional knowledge when senior engineers retire. Every output remains a draft for review by a licensed engineer.
