The study aimed to identify the impact of artificial intelligence technologies and active learning on enhancing the capabilities of material engineering students in problem-solving and scientific thinking. An experimental methodology was employed utilizing a sample of 60 students divided into control and experimental groups. The findings indicated significant differences between the control and experimental groups in problem-solving and scientific thinking measures, favoring the experimental group. Specifically, the experimental group showed a 15% increase in problem-solving abilities and a 20% improvement in scientific thinking skills compared to the control group. The study recommends focusing on enhancing problem-solving and scientific thinking skills among students and highlights the importance of curriculum modifications to align with ongoing advancements in artificial intelligence technologies. These results underscore the broader significance of integrating AI in educational methodologies to foster critical skills in engineering students.
