Therefore, there does not appear to be a clear path on how AI can be quickly adoptedfor the general use of a structural engineer or engineering student. For this reason, we seek todiscover if the use of AI Chatbots could potentially be used as a gateway for the use of AI instructural engineering.An AI Chatbot is a computer program that simulates human conversation with an end user [3].Although not all Chatbots use AI, this paper will consider Chatbots that are equipped withconversational AI techniques that allow them to understand the user’s questions and automateresponses to them.

If the students fall off course with their discussion, theinstructor will offer some guidance and attempt to steer the discussion back on track. Other usesof the discussion group include posting of announcements and general discussion questions by theinstructor.The use of an on-line discussion group offers a relatively new avenue through which the learnercan take an active role in the learning process.

Whenasked about the desire to construct a prototype of their design solution, the student responded, “We did build our [solution], but it‟s not like a physical thing, it‟s more of a computer survey.

Also, the institution itself, as a norm, sponsors innovation and the pursuit of excellence sothat the SFIP is conducted within a social system in which the upper echelons of leadershipsupport it.

Literature defines a mono-cultural perspective in the classroom as a culture that is completely dismissed and is viewedirrelevant by the instructor21,23. Ways of learning may clash with the instructor’s teaching style,and therefore, learning becomes irrelevant to the students. When classroom conversations arebeing led by majority students and faculty, this becomes a constant reminder to AA students oftheir guest status. If students do not succeed academically, then they are misunderstood asunderprepared, unintelligent, and unmotivated21,23.
