Chapter 5. Integration of artificial intelligence technologies into the digital transformation of professional higher education in technical fields
Keywords:
Artificial intelligence in education, technical higher education, digital transformation, AI literacy, digital competences, educational technologies, professional training, ethical use of AI, instructors’ digital readiness, learning innovationSynopsis
This chapter explores current trends in the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into the professional training of students in technical higher education institutions. The theoretical section highlights models of digital transformation, the structure of digital competences, the role of AI in adapting educational programs, as well as strategic initiatives implemented at Lviv Polytechnic National University under the leadership of Rector N. Shakhovska.
Special attention is given to an empirical study based on a survey of students and instructors in technical fields. The findings identify the most anticipated benefits and barriers to AI adoption in the educational process and reveal correlations between selected advantages and the respondents’ level of digital readiness. A series of visualizations is presented, including a digital competence pyramid, network graphs of stakeholder interaction, and a map of multiple associations between AI-driven educational outcomes.
The results underscore the need for a systemic approach to fostering AI literacy in technical universities, the importance of digital pedagogical support for instructors, and the development of an ethical culture in the use of intelligent tools in professional education.
