The Australasian Artificial Intelligence in Engineering Education Centre

A Special Interest Group of the Australasian Association of Engineering Education

Our Mission

We are dedicated to supporting the Australasian Association of Engineering Education (AAEE) members to transition to the use of generative artificial intelligence (genAI) in engineering education. Our goal is to facilitate the research, development, and application of AI in the field, and to create a network of professionals and institutions to drive innovation.

Our Vision

We envision a future where genAI is a fundamental part of engineering education. We believe that through collaboration and innovation, we can transform the field to better meet the needs of students and industry.

Our Approach

We take a multidisciplinary approach to genAI in engineering education, drawing on expertise from across the fields of engineering, computer science, education, and psychology. Our approach is rooted in research, and we work closely with industry partners to ensure that our work is relevant and impactful.

Our Community

Our community is comprised of leading researchers, educators, and industry experts from around Australasia. We are passionate about genAI and its potential to transform engineering education, and we aim to advance knowledge in this field.

Get Involved

We welcome anyone with an interest in genAI and engineering education to join our community. Whether you are a researcher, educator, student, or industry professional, there are many ways to get involved and contribute to our mission.
