Will AI replace Engineering Teachers?

Why this score

AI is already handling routine parts of your work — auto-grading homework problem sets in statics, dynamics, and circuits; generating quiz banks from textbook content; and producing basic lecture slide drafts. Your core value, however, sits in mentoring graduate students through original research, running hands-on labs with physical equipment, and teaching students to exercise engineering judgment under uncertainty — tasks that remain deeply resistant to automation. The real question for the next five years is not whether AI replaces you, but whether you become the faculty member who defines how AI tools are integrated into engineering curricula or the one who gets sidelined because someone else did.
