Abstract

Recognizing the peculiarities of the current system of military education and considering the necessity of rapid modernization of military engineering training, HMIs need to implement innovative technologies to enhance the educational process. The purpose was to present a detailed analysis of the implementation of AI technologies while training future military engineering officers, to outline the existing strategies, and to develop possible strategies to enhance the educational process through AI technologies. To achieve the research purpose, we conducted open and closed-ended surveys among 154 instructors through five questionnaires to address the research questions. The answers were studied using conventional content analysis and statistical data processing. The results revealed basic directions for using AI in military engineering training and possible AI applications for the formation of professional competencies among future military engineering officers. But, meanwhile, the findings indicate that the process of military engineering training is facing several challenges complicating the implementation of AI-driven transformations. To overcome the existing challenges of AI and elaborate the applicable recommendations for the implementation of AI in the HMIs, we outlined the strategies for the enhancement of military engineering training through AI technologies.
