AI is a rapidly advancing technology, especially in education. "Generative AI" is particularly notable for revolutionizing how we teach and learn, prompting a reevaluation of teacher training. Engineering education is at the forefront of pedagogical innovation, enhancing learning tools, and fostering a new educational mindset. This transition makes problem-solving more straightforward for teachers and encourages the revision of teaching methods, thus enhancing student-teacher relationships. Teaching space with AI integration transforms students into active learners, deeply involved in shaping their educational paths. This paper will explore the influence of generative AI on engineering education through a literature review, demonstrating how it contributes to more flexible, advanced, and engaging learning spaces. It will draw attention to the urgent need for educators to embrace and actively participate in these emerging dynamics. Specifically, the paper will focus on CDIO Standards 2 and 8, evaluating generative AI's impact on learning outcomes and promoting active learning. It aims to reveal how fertile AI can synchronize educational objectives with hands-on, collaborative student experiences. [For the complete proceedings, see ED672800.]
