Leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Chatgpt for Innovative Engineering Projects: A Case Study with Undergraduate Students
Abstract
This paper explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and ChatGPT in undergraduate engineering projects, examining their usage, advantages, and impact on student learning and project outcomes. With a group of 60 students, the study investigates how AI, especially ChatGPT, enhances project development, problem-solving, and knowledge dissemination. Through structured project-based learning, students utilized AI techniques to innovate and address real-world engineering challenges, resulting in notable improvements in critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. The paper also discusses pedagogical implications and offers insights for future research in AI integration within engineering education.
