AB  - Demand for trained engineers is high worldwide, and the situation can be characterized as very critical for the Global South where challenges due to students' apprehension towards mathematics and physics further complicate the case. Engineering skills are essential and recent shifts in methodology using problem or project-based learning (PBL) put engineering education in the right tracks. This paper is aimed at improving the PBL approach by introducing students to a better use of online resources, including those resulting from Artificial Intelligence (AI). With easy access to the Internet, some students might be tempted to search for ready-proposed solutions instead of investigating their own ideas with personal critical thinking. Engaging students, from day one, in PBL methodology exploiting efficiently AI, could result in enhancing motivation of engineering students, even those lacking scientific prerequisites. Practical experiments, like disassembling and reassembling technology, combined with PBL, are expected to reduce students' apprehension of engineering courses.
