AB  - This study explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) education into the Senior Projects course for Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) students, addressing the growing demand for AI/ML skills in engineering fields. In the absence of a dedicated AI/ML course within the current MET curriculum, the initiative bridges this gap through a dual approach: weekly lectures tailored to MET students, focusing on accessible tools and practical applications, and senior projects specifically designed to apply AI/ML concepts to solve engineering problems. A comprehensive assessment plan, incorporating pre- and post-course identical quizzes, topics-specific quizzes, self-evaluations and reflections, demonstrated significant learning gains. The successful completion of these AI-focused senior projects highlights the effectiveness of this approach in equipping students with essential AI/ML skills. This innovative strategy not only addresses the curriculum gap but also offers a scalable model for integrating emerging technologies into undergraduate engineering education.
