FOSTERING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE COMPETENCIES THROUGH PROJECT-BASED LEARNING: A CAPSTONE APPROACH Academic Article in Scopus uri icon

abstract

  • In today's quickly evolving technological landscape, engineering graduates must be able to understand the fundamentals of cutting-edge technologies. Under this perspective both students and faculty must explore the digital world and Artificial Intelligence (AI) as allies in technological innovation. As the demand for AI expertise continues to rise, equipping students with essential AI competencies has become imperative. For their final capstone projects, engineering students were asked to come up with an innovative system, under the supervision of four faculty members. This paper presents the student's learning experience while designing AI based systems in real-world scenarios and resulted in fostering hands-on experience in novel technologies. © 2024 Proceedings of the 26th International Conference on Engineering and Product Design Education: Rise of the Machines: Design Education in the Generative AI Era, E and PDE 2024.
