Can AI be Helpful for Teaching Engineering Subjects?

Recently we have been hearing a lot about artificial intelligence and how it can influence the ways we are doing things, for the better or the worse. In particular, the effects it has on education and learning has received a lot of attention. This paper focuses on if indeed AI can be used as a useful tool in tackling engineering problems. Here, based on my limited experience with AI but a long history of teaching engineering courses I have come to some conclusions about if AI can become helpful for learning engineering subjects, in which the physics of matters play an important role. Although this work is limited more to engineering problems, it can well apply to other disciplines, such as biology, economics, and some other subjects.The main question is if AI can provide us with ways for better teaching or facilitates the ways students learn a subject. In this regard, first it must be reliable and trustworthy. It is shown that the present performance of AI is not acceptable/satisfactory to provide correct and reliable help for education of engineering subjects.
