Call for Papers

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping the landscape of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines.

The workshop welcomes papers addressing (i) new AI enabled workflows within the STEM disciplines – in particular engineering and computer science – as well as (ii) the resulting modifications in the curriculum of degree programs and (iii) the way these disciplines are taught at Universities.

From natural language user interfaces, that bridge humans and engineering software, to intelligent AI systems capable of data analysing, generative designing, operational decision‑making, quality assurance and predictive maintenance, large language models and AI tools are transforming STEM workflows.

Beyond the classroom itself, AI is transforming the qualifications expected of new graduates. The growing digitization of industry and the rise of software-driven products are driving the demand for engineers and scientists equipped with both traditional technical skills and emerging digital capabilities. This shift calls for a fundamental rethinking—not just of how we teach, but also what we teach.

With its capability to create interactive, engaging, and highly adaptable learning environments, AI holds the potential to revolutionize how engineering and computer science are taught. However, this transformation also presents significant challenges around, for example academic integrity in assessments, the reliability and fairness of AI systems.

This workshop aims to bring together educators, researchers, AI developers, and institutional leaders to explore how we can harness the opportunities AI presents in typical engineering and computer science workflows while proactively addressing the challenges. Through interdisciplinary dialogue and knowledge exchange, this workshop seeks to envision a future where AI complements human capabilities within STEM disciplines. The workshop will also serve as a platform to discuss how education must evolve as AI reshapes engineering roles and workplace expectations.

We invite submissions on a broad range of topics, including but not limited to:

  • AI-Enabled Workflows in STEM
    • Integration of AI and large language models (LLMs) into engineering and computing workflows

The workshop will be held in conjunction with AIxSET 2026 in Laguna Hills, California, USA (hybrid format) on September 28 – 30, 2026. It solicits regular technical papers of up to 6 pages (IEEE double-column format). Workshop papers will be official publications of IEEE which will be included in IEEEXplore and also be available as printed workshop proceedings.
