matching industry expectations.GAI, as defined by ChatGPT -a conversational AI model developed by OpenAI-, “refers to aclass of artificial intelligence models designed to create new content, such as text, image, audio,or video, that resembles human-generated data. These models "generate" content by learningpatterns from large datasets during their training process”. Given its capabilities and rapidadoption across industries, integrating GAI into technical training may become essential forpreparing students for the workforce.With this in mind, this research aims to identify Industrial Engineering (IE) areas with significantGAI activity and use these insights to explore how IE education can be enhanced to better equipgraduates for the evolving job

discussions in higher educationincluding its potential uses in and beyond the classroom. Initially, the focus was primarily onpreventing students from using generative AI tools, but attention is now shifting towardintegrating these tools into teaching and learning [1]. Many educators are exploring ways toincorporate generative AI into instruction [2].Students are often assumed to be tech-savvy [3]. With the widespread use of tools like ChatGPT,they may also be perceived as competent users of generative AI. However, effectively using AIfor learning requires more than just basic digital literacy, which can impact both the learningexperience and its benefit. Therefore, studying students’ interactions with AI is important, as thefindings will shape how
