THE IMPACT OF INCORPORATING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY IN ENHANCING STUDENTS LEARNING OF BUILDING TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION IN ALIKO DANGOTE UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY WUDIL.
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Artificial Intelligence (Al) is revolutionizing education, offering innovative solutions to enhance
learning outcomes and align educational practices with the demands of Industry 4.0. This study
investigates the integration of Al technologies in Building Technology Education at Aliko Dangote
University of Science and Technology, Wudil. Using a descriptive survey design, data were
collected from 120 participants, including students and lecturers, through structured
questionnaires. Findings reveal that Al tools such as Building Information Modeling (BIM).
virtual simulations, and augmented reality significantly improve student engagement, practical
skills, and conceptual understanding. However, challenges such as limited access to Al tools.
inadequate infrastructure, and insufficient training for educators hinder effective integration. The
study recommends institutional investment, educator training, and policies to ensure equitable
access to Al technologies. This research contributes to knowledge by providing a framework for
Al integration in technical education and addressing ethical considerations like data privacy and
algorithmic bias. Suggestions for future research include exploring long-term impacts of AT
adoption and strategies for implemeniction in resource-constrained contexts.
