learned now.Many engineering students learn MatLab for basic coding and one drafting program (such asSolidWorks or AutoCAD). Some engineering students, particularly industrial engineers, learnExcel. However, we found that early career engineers often noted that they wished they hadmore training in computer-aided engineering drawing. A similar finding was noted in Hall &Stevens (1994), suggesting that this is a long-standing lacuna in engineering education. Whenengineers in our study experienced work disruptions because they lacked software familiarity,the main resolution they devised was consulting external resources, most commonly via googlingthe problem and reading or watching a tutorial. We observed engineers using this method tolearn how

Some people argue that AI and ChatGPT are going to bring down traditional education style anda new way of disseminating the subject knowledge may be introduced. Some educators think that theteachers may lose their jobs. Many people started to test the limits of the released software. The tool isable to produce high-quality texts of various focuses even with the ability to respond in various languages(internally, they are machine-translated into English similarly to “Google Translate”). Another strength ofChatGPT is contextual querying, where ChatGPT
is natural then to expect that the in-depth analysis and studyinvolved in typical PBL experiments or assignments should enhance the understanding of suchconcepts.There are other methods in the area of mechanics education, besides PBL, which teachers rely onto enhance students’ understanding of classroom concepts6,7,8,9. Most of these methods arecurrently computer-based as publishers and authors of undergraduate mechanics courses (e.g.statics, dynamics, and mechanics of materials) have bundled software with their textbooks. Forexample, some of the more advanced Dynamics software allows students to set-up parametricproblems and watch real-time animations simulating physical behavior. There is no doubt thatthe use of such software in the

facets of technology education. Multimedia is currently being used in the classroom, bymany faculty, to improve the student’s comprehension of difficult material. Since multimedia is an effective toolin the classroom, then why not develop applications that will allow the student to effectively utilize this tooloutside the classroom, for educational purposes. The problem is how to find the development and distribution of such applications, not whether or notthey would serve as an effective aid to the overall learning process for students. Compared to the market size formost pi$rsonal computer software applications, the technology education market is an extremely small one.
