About Student Textbook

Mujo’s Prompt Engineering and Large Language Models (PELLM) student textbook is a comprehensive, practical guide to understanding and working with generative AI systems in real-world professional environments. Designed for college and university students in any discipline, this prompt engineering textbook requires no prior technical background and builds skills progressively across eight chapters, from large language model fundamentals through to advanced prompt engineering strategies, AI workflow design, and responsible AI governance.

Students learn how large language models are built, trained, and deployed, then develop hands-on proficiency in the prompt engineering techniques that employers are actively seeking: role-based prompting, chain-of-thought reasoning, few-shot learning, context management, iterative prompt refinement, and domain-specific prompting for business, technical writing, data analysis, and creative applications. The textbook also covers multimodal AI systems, function calling, and multi-step AI workflow design, giving students a complete picture of how generative AI is applied across modern workplaces.

The PELLM student textbook takes a platform-agnostic approach, teaching prompting principles that apply across all major AI platforms including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot. Students graduate with transferable, future-ready skills that remain relevant as the technology continues to evolve, rather than knowledge tied to a single tool or version.

This textbook is suitable as the primary course text for a standalone prompt engineering course, or as a key component within broader programs in business, marketing, communications, computer science, and applied AI. It is available in both print and digital formats, with full accessibility features and compatibility with all major Learning Management Systems including Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, and Brightspace.

About Instructor Manual

Mujo’s Prompt Engineering and Large Language Models (PELLM) teacher manual is a comprehensive instructional resource designed for college and university instructors teaching prompt engineering, generative AI communication skills, and large language model applications. This prompt engineering teacher manual goes well beyond the student textbook, equipping instructors with a complete, ready-to-deploy teaching toolkit for a full-semester course.

The PELLM curriculum takes a platform-agnostic approach to prompt engineering education, covering skills that apply across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and other leading AI systems. Instructors guide students from foundational large language model concepts through to advanced prompt engineering techniques including chain-of-thought reasoning, role-based prompting, few-shot learning, and iterative prompt optimization. No prior technical background is required of students, making this prompt engineering course accessible to learners across business, marketing, communications, and applied AI programs.

Upon completing this course, students will be able to design and implement effective prompts for a range of AI platforms, apply prompt engineering patterns to real-world business problems, evaluate and improve AI-generated outputs, and understand the ethical and governance frameworks surrounding responsible AI use in the workplace.
