ethical considerations. Theoretical FrameworkOur analysis integrates three complementary theoretical perspectives to understand AI's role inengineering education. Building on Sweller's (1988) Cognitive Load Theory, we examine howAI tools can reduce extraneous cognitive demands in complex engineering tasks. Mayer's (2019)analysis of multimedia learning environments demonstrated that AI-supported cognitivescaffolding reduced cognitive load by an average of 35% while improving problem-solvingaccuracy by 42%. These findings align with Johnson and Smith's (2018) longitudinal study of1,200 engineering students, which found that AI-enhanced mastery experiences led to a 40%increase in student self-efficacy ratings and

distinguishes expert from novice engineers. Forexample, first-year engineering students who spent more time selecting among alternativesproduced design solutions of higher quality in think-aloud design tasks [12]. Efficient designersfrequently looped through various design stages—gathering information, developing prototypes,and implementation, instead of using a linear process [13].In sum, evaluating among alternatives is integral to engineering design decisions. Thus, wefollow Atman et al. [12] and conceptualize design decision as opting for an idea or solutionamong alternatives, after a period of brainstorming ideas, modeling solutions, analyzingfeasibility, and evaluation. Researchers have used verbal protocol analysis to study the differentphases

In the generaleducation curriculum, integrative learning is little more than a fantasy. For the engineeringstudent, this approach often leads to compartmentalized learning, where students do not connecttheir general education courses to their engineering courses.  When it comes to integrating engineering and humanities within a single course, the prospectsare more promising but the effort much more daunting. Engineering and the humanities are sofar removed from one another —sometimes quite literally situated on opposite ends of largecampuses, in separate colleges and institutional environments that make it

These projects emulate the work ofengineers in industry in that they involve trade-offs, cost constraints, interdisciplinarity,ambiguity (open-ended descriptions and practical specs), and multiple solutions requiringflexibility on the part of designers. As such, they typically entail teamwork, rely on clear andeffective communication (with a sponsoring company in addition to within the student teamitself), and require the ability to apply a variety of material from across the curriculum.

Suchsolutions, even if the exact differential equations are known, generate only an approximatesolution. And in the case of finite element analyses, the solutions are not conservative.In engineering practice, number crunching has become routine. However, solutions aregenerated and constantly modified to meet unforeseen changes. After the solution has beencalculated, modifying it is often done at considerable time and expense depending on thecomplexity of the problem and the dependency of the variable to other related system variables.It would be beneficial to teach engineers to develop general solutions which can be
