propose four key recommendations for successful AIintegration in engineering education. First, faculty development programs should implementstructured mentorship programs lasting a minimum of 6 months, complemented by bi-weeklyworkshop series, community of practice development, and continuous assessment and feedbackloops. Second, institutions should leverage open-source AI platforms through consortiumpurchasing models and shared resource pools, while fostering community-developed content andcross-institutional collaboration. Third, equity-focused policies must be established, includingequipment loan programs, subsidized internet access, extended lab hours, multi-languagesupport, and comprehensive accessibility requirements.

).Furthermore, studies that focus on interdisciplinary collaborations can support the development ofcomprehensive frameworks for AI in education, helping institutions to navigate ethical, social, andpedagogical challenges (Shi & Xuwei, 2023).ConclusionThe Integration of AI into engineering education has led to a tremendous transformation in the educationalsector by promoting quality learning experiences in the classroom. This has also gone a long way inaddressing many long-standing educational challenges that have plagued teaching and learning. This studyhighlights how AI can be applied in the classroom to foster personalized learning, automated assessmentand real-time feedback, and collaborative learning among students.
