TOC Modules

Concepts
  • Understanding Cursor as an AI-assisted software-development environment
  • Understanding Cursor Agent, project context, code generation, explanation, and modification
  • Identifying IT use cases across development, support, troubleshooting, scripting, and automation
  • Differentiating AI-generated code from technically validated implementation
Practical activities
  • Exploring Cursor using a sample IT project
  • Asking Cursor to explain application structure and functionality
  • Creating a basic technical feature from natural-language instructions
  • Mapping IT Requirement → Cursor → Code → Human Review

Scenarios

Application Issue to Validated Technical Fix

Application Error → Cursor Codebase Analysis → Diagnostic Hypotheses → Targeted Code Change → Testing → Engineer Validation → Controlled Release

Participants use Cursor to investigate and resolve an application issue while ensuring root-cause confirmation, code acceptance, and release decisions remain under qualified technical ownership.

Repetitive IT Activity to Automation Utility

Manual IT Task → Technical Requirement → Cursor-Assisted Coding → Script / Utility → Validation → Testing → Security Review → Controlled Use

Participants convert a repetitive IT task into a lightweight automation utility while maintaining appropriate permissions, code review, testing, and human oversight.
