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.
