“Students can use AI while doing projects and assignments, but they have to write the basic concept on paper, which will be given weightage,” said V Kumaresan, registrar (in-charge), Anna University. “For every assignment, the teacher will mention whether AI can be used and to what extent,” said Rebecca Devaprasad, internal quality assessment cell coordinator. However, they cannot reproduce available content as theirs,” said college principal S Uma Gowrie.
This problem can test mathematical ability and how well they use AI to solve a real-world problem. The other problems given as examples can measure learning outcomes in cybersecurity, heat transfer and flight mechanics, as they require basic inputs such as cruise speed and power for a drone route, and room dimensions, humidity readings, outdoor weather readings, and occupant count for calculating heat transfer. Anna University is also into it. Not just engineering colleges have embraced AI. Stella Maris College allows AI for polishing language and correcting grammar, but not generative AI for content. Ethiraj College for Women will introduce plagiarism checks for class assignments. “They can use AI for searching information.
We are test-running the process,” said Abhay Meganathan, vice-chairman of Rajalakshmi Group of Institutions. “We will allow students to use generative AI tools in exams, like an open-book exam model, in the next semester.
