Exam Preparation with Artificial Intelligence: Examination for Building Material Course with Chat GPT

Abstract

This paper explores the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and architectural education, emphasizing how Chat GPT is used in the Building Material course to help students prepare for exams. It looks into the consequences, opportunities, and restrictions of utilizing AI-powered chatbots to support architecture education by improving students' comprehension of the complex world of building materials. Two experiments for the same course were executed to explore the possibilities and problems. The ability of Chat GPT to produce practice questions gives instructors essential tools for assessing their test preparation, and their ability to get thorough course material reviews facilitates efficient revision. It can rapidly generate new responses due to given instructions; thus, an iterative process can be executed until it reaches the objectives. The use of AI in architectural education does have certain limitations in any case. Despite its informative capabilities, Chat GPT cannot offer real-time feedback, which can impede the development of critical architectural skills. It runs all responses from its training, which can be out-of-date knowledge and cannot be managed. The knowledge and experience of the user among the conservation are important to organize clear and accurate results. Ethics considerations and property rights need attention, especially concerning possible abuse and academic integrity.
