Exploring the Transformative Potential of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering Education

The sophistication of technology has shown to offer several benefits in various fields. The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to significantly improve any area of its integration, including Mechanical Engineering Education (MEE). A subset of AI, Generative Artificial Intelligence GAI) promises an invaluable potential in MEE. However, the promising potential of this technology hasn't been explored yet in the MEE context. Thus, this paper examines the publications that have been investigating the applications of AI in MEE to provide an overview of the possibility and the most suitable way of implementing GAI in MEE. Accordingly, this paper will provide future researchers a better understanding of how GAI can be integrated into MEE to aid Mechanical engineering (ME) students and faculty in utilizing these technologies and assist institutes in implementing these technologies in the ME curriculum.
