However, current conceptual frameworksoften neglect the intersection between gender and disciplinary background, particularly regardinghow female students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) andnon-STEM fields engage with AI. This review synthesizes existing literature on AI literacy,highlighting the distinct challenges and strengths of female undergraduates across disciplines.We propose a Tri-Pillar Integrative Framework—Technical Competency, Ethical Reasoning, andContextual Application—to foster comprehensive AI literacy. The paper underscores thefragmented nature of current AI education, emphasizing gender-specific barriers such asstereotype threat and techno-anxiety, and

For higher education, the newtechnological wave demands a reevaluation of traditional teaching and learning models to remainapplicable in an AI-driven world [2]. Higher education institutions now face a monumental taskof embracing AI literacy as a core competency, akin to such fundamental competencies ascritical thinking and effective communication. However, integrating AI into higher educationpresents several challenges, including the lack of standardized guidelines for curricularintegration and established governance structures, ethical and safety concerns, facultypreparedness, quality and reliability of outputs, and the potential of increasing the digital divideand

Unfortunately, limited research exists beyondsurface-level policies and educator opinions regarding GAI, and its full impact on studentlearning remains largely unknown. Therefore, understanding students' perceptions and how theyuse GAI is crucial to ensuring its effective and ethical integration into higher education.

suggests that while GenAI tools can improve problem-solving and technical efficiency, engineering education must also address ethical, human-centered, and societal impacts. The dVC framework pro- vides a structured lens for assessing how GenAI tools are integrated into curricula and research, encouraging a more holistic, reflective approach. Ultimately, this paper aims to provoke dialogue on the future of engineering education and to challenge the prevail- ing assumption that technical skill development alone is sufficient in an AI-mediated world.1 IntroductionWe take as our starting premise that engineers have a responsibility to society, and conse-quently, that engineering educators have a responsibility to convey

Although morerecent textbooks included brief “real-world” applications at the beginnings and ends of chapters,they primarily concentrated on mathematical analysis, problem-solving, and technical details,minimizing theoretical explanations. By contrast, earlier textbooks contained more detailedwritten explanations, emphasized theoretical understanding, and
