Integrating Artificial Intelligence and ChatGPT into Higher Engineering Education

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize the field of engineering education by providing personalized and on-demand support to teachers and students. The current paper analyses the ways that AI can be used in engineering education, pointing out both the benefits it can bring to students and teachers and the potential outcomes of its ethical usage. By reviewing the literature on the use of AI in education, with a focus on engineering education, and providing case studies and practical experiments to illustrate its practical applications in the educational process, the goal is to provide insight into the benefits of using AI in engineering education. Chat GPT can be a valuable tool in higher engineering education, providing students with personalized support and enhancing the learning experience. Limitations and cases of misuse of ChatGPT were also identified, like bias, cheating, plagiarism, and inaccuracies. It is also very important to emphasize that ChatGPT's responses should be used as supplementary information and not a substitute for physical courses or hands-on laboratories. A few experiments were performed to demonstrate the possible usage and capabilities of Artificial Intelligence for engineers. This paper describes one of them, carried out using only graphical programming environments (LabVIEW with DeepLTK from Ngene).
