Although it seems that AI tools can be a wining tool forstudents to use, students mentioned many drawbacks to the program such as:  Makes students lazy  Gives false information  Acts only as a safety net. Still need to check work.Question 4The students that use AI tools mentioned that they mostly use Chatboxes to understand topics,better classroom learning, deeper understanding on topics, problem solving, and writing. Studentsbelieve that AI tools still have a long way to go to become what they need in problem solving,design opportunities, project feasibility, and to also be taught in class. Only 22% of the studentsstated that it has influenced their understanding of engineering concepts

It is recommended that engineeringschools and colleges offer these experiences, especially for engineering instructors formallytrained in technical and disciplinary areas. Anecdotal evidence suggests this approach works for the following reasons. First, itpromotes accountability. Second, it allows for networking. Third, it encourages collaborationsacross projects.

In addition to the actual evaluation process, students are able todetermine the context of the information using their own knowledge of their profession.

engineering students should provide at least five things to lead to students’further academic success and prepare them for the job market: 1) material mastery, 2)communication, and collaboration, 3) software/programming skills, 4) learning andmetacognition, and 5) confidence. Students in traditional lecture-based classrooms may not betaught these skills [1][2]. Numerous studies have shown that active and cooperative learningclasses are better at addressing these than traditional lecture-based classes [3].
