ICT-Engineering Teachers’ Experiences and Expectations With AI

Abstract

The study explores the integration and perceptions of AI in ICT engineering education, highlighting both the current utilization and future expectations among teachers. With the advent of generative AI applications, there is increased pressure and awareness for higher education institutions to incorporate AI into their curricula. The paper discusses the necessity for faculty in ICT engineering to stay updated with AI developments, ensuring relevant and innovative instruction for students. It also examines the use of AI in various educational facets, such as assessment, prediction, assistance, and learning management, based on systematic reviews and empirical research. The findings reveal a mix of enthusiasm and caution among teachers, with a clear recognition of AI's potential benefits in enhancing teaching efficiency and student learning, alongside concerns about ethical, safety, and cost implications. The study advocates for comprehensive training and institutional support to effectively integrate AI in teaching, emphasizing the need for ongoing development to align with the rapidly evolving technological environment.
