thermal energy, butwill also observe that the work piece gradually heats up and eventually starts to glow red.The principle of induction heating is to convert electricity to thermal energy inside a conductivework piece by using alternating magnetic fields. The energy conversion efficiency is up to 95%for magnetic materials, and contamination is minimized due to the non-contact heating mode.Therefore, induction heating has been widely used in steel industries for many years. Mostengineering students are baffled by magnetic field theories since magnetic fields are notsomething that they can see, touch or feel except through mathematical equations. To assiststudents’ understanding of this energy conversion process, we are developing an

The findings offer insights into the future of AI-driven education, where AI not only servesas a repository of knowledge but also as an agent for the transference of diverse experiences, thussupporting learners across various disciplines.Keywords: Cognitive Assessment, AI Knowledge Transfer, Contextual Learning
