Transforming Engineering Education Using Generative AI and Digital Twin Technologies
Digital twin technology, traditionally used in industry, is increasingly recognized for its potential to enhance educational experiences. This study investigates the application of industrial digital twins (DTs) in education, focusing on how DT models of varying fidelity can support different stages of Bloom's taxonomy in the cognitive domain. We align Bloom's six cognitive stages with educational levels: undergraduate studies for "Remember" and "Understand," master's level for "Apply" and "Analyze," and doctoral level for "Evaluate" and "Create." Low-fidelity DTs aid essential knowledge acquisition and skill training, providing a low-risk environment for grasping fundamental concepts. Medium-fidelity DTs offer more detailed and dynamic simulations, enhancing application skills and problem-solving. High-fidelity DTs support advanced learners by replicating physical phenomena, allowing for innovative design and complex experiments. Within this framework, large language models (LLMs) serve as mentors, assessing progress, filling knowledge gaps, and assisting with DT interactions, parameter setting, and debugging. We evaluate the educational impact using the Kirkpatrick Model, examining how each DT model's fidelity influences learning outcomes. This framework helps educators make informed decisions on integrating DTs and LLMs to meet specific learning objectives.
