Despite widespread discussions about AI's role in engineering education, its practicalapplications in mechanical engineering courses remain limited and largely confined to isolatedactivities. For example, few courses integrate AI tools into their syllabi, and most use cases areconfined to optional student-driven projects or experimental course modules. Current applicationsare mostly observed in report writing, such as generating content drafts, paraphrasing sections, andformatting citations, and in computer programming for debugging, code optimization, and scriptgeneration.
