Generative AI (GenAI) is reshaping the landscape of education, offering powerful new tools - but also posing fresh challenges - for engineering educators. Our interactive workshop will explore how best to equip educators with the knowledge, skills, and strategies needed to respond to GenAI’s transformative impact. Participants will learn how to meaningfully integrate GenAI into their teaching, empowering students to develop AI competencies responsibly and effectively, while mitigating risks like overreliance and academic integrity concerns. From newcomers to those already experimenting with AI, there will be takeaways for everyone.
