Exploring the Impact of Generative AI in Engineering Education: A Scoping Review of Applications and Innovations
摘要
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has rapidly emerged as a transformative force across education. Contemporary AI chatbots and content generators, among which are the most notable for OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and Microsoft’s Copilot. These AI chatbots use deep learning and natural language processing to produce human-like responses across text, code, and design domains (Akolekar in Sci. Rep. 15(1), 9214, 2025). UNESCO in 2023 notes that GenAI offers a tremendous opportunity for human development, yet it also can cause harm and prejudice if unchecked (Holmes in Guidance for Generative AI in Education and Research. UNESCO Publishing, 2023). In STEM and engineering education in particular, researchers have begun to explore these opportunities.
