TY - CHAP A1 - Suhonen, Sami ED - Schäfle, Claudia ED - Stanzel, Silke ED - Junker, Elmar ED - Lux, Christine T1 - Navigating the AI Era: Analyzing the Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Learning and Teaching Engineering Physics T2 - Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Physics Teaching in Engineering Education PTEE 2024 N2 - This paper delves into the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on learning and teaching engineering physics, focusing on the use of AI chatbots. The study explores various issues encountered by educators when students utilize AI to solve physics problems, highlighting potential pitfalls and opportunities. Through testing AI chatbots' capabilities in physics learning, the paper evaluates their effectiveness in providing accurate and insightful responses. Results indicate that while AI, especially ChatGPT 4, shows promise in aiding students' understanding of physics concepts, there are limitations and challenges to consider, such as over-reliance on technology and the potential for AI to produce misleading solutions. The implications and discussions underscore the need for a balanced approach in integrating AI into education, emphasizing authentic understanding over merely obtaining correct answers. Using AI in creating teaching materials is not evaluated here.
