Featured Webinar: IEEE’s Role in Shaping AI-Ready Engineering Education Globally
Hosted by: VP for Educational Activities, Babak D. Beheshti & Society President, Arnold Pears
This forward-looking session explores the intersection of artificial intelligence and academic rigor. As AI transitions from a niche tool to a foundational element of the industry, the Education Society outlines a roadmap for universities to evolve their curricula, teaching methodologies, and ethical frameworks.
Topics include:
-
Transformation of Engineering Education by AI
How artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing what engineers need to know and how universities must adapt curricula. -
AI as a Teaching Assistant: Opportunities and Limitations
Use of tools such as generative AI, intelligent tutoring systems, and automated feedback to enhance learning, while understanding their constraints and risks. -
Preparing Students for an AI-Augmented Engineering Workforce
How universities must prepare graduates to work effectively alongside AI rather than compete with it. -
Faculty Role in the Age of AI
How the role of faculty is evolving from content delivery toward mentorship, guidance, and higher-order skill development. -
Ethical, Social, and Professional Implications
Ensuring responsible use of AI and preparing engineers to design trustworthy and ethical AI-enabled systems. -
Future Outlook: The Engineering Classroom in 2030
What engineering education will look like in the coming decade and how institutions can prepare today.
