Amid the increasing use of artificial intelligence tools by students in academic institutions, these tools have become pivotal in generating innovative content based on human input. This input, known as "prompts," consists of commands that guide the tools to perform specific tasks, thereby contributing to the preparation of scientific research and graduation projects. The study employed a comprehensive research methodology that included designing practical experiments and field tests to assess the accuracy of the commands formulated by computer science students at the Faculty of Education in Zawilah during the preparation of their graduation projects. Additionally, personal interviews were conducted to analyze the theoretical and practical understanding of the challenges students face when working with prominent AI tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Perplexity AI, and Claude, given these tools’ ability to provide innovative and rapid solutions. The results indicated that a segment of the students lacks sufficient knowledge to formulate prompts accurately, leading to inconsistent and imprecise outputs. Intensive training aimed at improving prompt formulation contributed to enhancing the quality of the submitted academic projects, particularly in the programming aspect, thereby increasing the overall efficiency of the educational and research process. The study recommends the development of specialized training programs to strengthen prompt formulation skills and to optimize the effective use of AI tools, which will better prepare students for a future increasingly reliant on digital technology and enhance their prospects for success in the job market..............
