The integration of AI into our lives is inevitable, if not already pervasive. Its integration into the educational landscape is imminent. In my role as an educator, I recognized the importance of integrating AI into the educational experience for the students so they are able to be familiar and understand this tool. To explore its potential, I initiated an experiment within my engineering course. Traditionally in this laboratory course students work on different mini-industrial operation units throughout the semester. Central to their process is the creation of a detailed experimental plan outlining their approach before commencing any work in the laboratory. In this study, students were tasked to utilize AI to create their draft plan. Subsequently they were instructed to critically evaluate the AI generated version and refine it based on their knowledge, insights and experiences in the laboratory sessions, and submit a final version, which is the one they followed in their experiments. My review and evaluation of their submissions culminated in a detailed comparative study which I will share in my forthcoming paper. This approach not only allowed students to harness the power of AI in their academic endeavors but also to use their critical thinking skills. Thus empowering students with an essential skill for navigating the increasingly AI-driven landscape of their future careers.
