PROMPT ENGINEERING ON THE ENGINEERING DESIGN PROCESS

Research output: Chapter or section in a book/report/conference proceedingChapter in a published conference proceeding

Abstract

Exploratory use of prompt engineering in generative AI is undertaken in engineering design teaching. The initial findings using Bing Copilot and Chat GPT on the design process are presented. Research on the influence of prompt construction is of interest, and multimodal AI searches for an engineering component image show it does affect the AI's output. AI is shown to be of moderate use in creating a product design specification (PDS) and elements of a morphological chart. Whilst AI's natural language processing (NLP) outputs look very convincing, they need to be checked for technical accuracy.
