Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to be felt both in academia and industry, yetits full potential is yet to be exploited for the common good. While AI technologies areincreasingly being implemented, questions linger over their long-term impact on education andthe workforce. Recent research efforts have focused on promoting the ethical and responsible useof AI. As a result, explainable AI, which focuses on helping users understand how AI systemsmake decisions, has received a lot of interest [1].Even though some skepticism about AI decisions still lingers, it is already transformingworkplaces by enhancing efficiency, automating repetitive tasks, and enabling data-drivendecision-making. AI technologies such as natural language processing help to

This transformation is particularly significant in engineering education, where theintegration of advanced technologies has consistently reshaped pedagogical practices. Generative AI,characterized by its ability to produce content such as text, images, and multimedia through models likeChatGPT by openai, has garnered increasing attention due to its potential to enhance teaching and learningexperiences. Studies highlight how these technologies personalize learning, adapt to diverse student needs,and create innovative educational tools that improve comprehension and engagement [1] in the context ofengineering education
