A Case Study for Possible Applications of Artificial Intelligence Tools in the Design of Engineering Projects

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In our paper we study the potential application of artificial intelligence in the scheduling of engineering projects. We are focusing on a very small slice of project management topic, namely, shaping the major tasks and starting managing risks in the design phase. By design, here, we are not referring to the technological sense of the word, but rather on conceiving the entire technical project. We intend to study the use of AI in the case of engineering projects that are not software-based at all and in which AI is a working tool, not a goal or a constituent element. In our research, we investigated how the best-known Large Language Models respond to the same request. In examining the results, we found that the AI environments made meaningful suggestions, most of them showing in the same time a high degree of similarity. It was also confirmed that the data provided by AI in both scientific and practical contexts should be treated with caution. Still, we prove that AI can be considered a real and powerful, day-to-day tool in project management.
