Abstract

This research aims to explore the potential impact of the ChatGPT on b-learning methodologies in engineering education, specifically in mathematics. The study focuses on how the use of these artificial intelligence tools can affect the acquisition of critical thinking, problem-solving, and group work skills among students. The research also analyzes the students’ perception of the reliability, usefulness, and importance of these tools in academia. The study collected data through a survey of 110 students enrolled in a Mathematics I course in BEng Aerospace Engineering where a blended methodology, including flipped teaching, escape room gamification, problem-solving, and laboratory sessions and exams with a computer algebraic system were used. The data collected were analyzed using statistical methods and tests for significance. Results indicate students have quickly adopted ChatGPT tool, exhibiting high confidence in their responses (3.4/5) and general usage in the learning process (3.61/5), alongside a positive evaluation. However, concerns arose regarding the potential impact on developing lateral competencies essential for future engineers (2.8/5). The study concludes that the use of ChatGPT in blended learning methodologies poses new challenges for education in engineering, which requires the adaptation of teaching strategies and methodologies to ensure the development of essential skills for future engineers.
