Abstract: Career readiness is a vital aspect of engineering education, aligning with the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) core competencies that are essential for students' professional success.Skills such as communication, problem-solving, and teamwork are central to these competencies, preparing students for effective participation in the workforce.The increasing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education presents new opportunities to enhance these skills beyond traditional coursework.AI-powered tools, including adaptive feedback systems and collaborative platforms, offer personalized learning experiences that foster the development of these career competencies in engineering students.This paper explores how AI can be leveraged to support career readiness, arguing that its integration into engineering curricula can significantly enhance students' communication, problem-solving, and teamwork abilities.By examining the growing role of AI in education and its alignment with NACE competencies, this research highlights its transformative potential in preparing students for successful careers in engineering.
