Generative AI and Critical Thinking in Engineering Education: A Study on Application of Prompt Engineering

This study explores the integration of prompt engineering and critical thinking within generative AI applications for engineering education. As generative AI models become increasingly prevalent, prompt engineering emerges as a critical skill for optimizing AI outputs, while critical thinking ensures the validation and refinement of AI-generated responses. This research introduces innovative prompt engineering techniques and demonstrates their application through practical case studies in engineering classrooms. By analyzing student interactions with AI, we identify how critical thinking frameworks enhance output quality and foster deeper engagement. Our findings reveal that combining prompt engineering with critical thinking significantly improves students’ creative problem-solving abilities and analytical skills. Furthermore, this study provides a novel approach for educators to design more interactive and adaptive curricula, effectively incorporating generative AI to enrich the learning experience. The results underscore the transformative potential of prompt engineering as a pedagogical tool, offering clear guidance on leveraging AI technologies to empower both educators and learners.
