Abstrakt: Digital literacy has become a necessity in this digital age; thus, the world is determined to prepare its citizens. In the recent past, world history has accelerated while handling the challenges of the pandemic. Consequently, the world population lived a decade in a few years, with several new initiatives commencing on an immediate basis. Nations and institutions invested heavily in technology to continue the delivery of programs with minimal impact. Due to these constraints, educators were compelled to think about the potential of technology to maintain and or enhance the learning of their students. Application of technology and appropriate processes with recognition of their limitations along with the use of analytical tools are essentially required to accomplish engineering learning outcomes that stand on the foundation of digital literacy. On the other hand, the use of technology in the classroom and attaining engineering competencies has multiple outcomes. Some educators consider that advanced technological gadgets are a source of disturbance in classroom delivery while others consider their utilization as interest-generating tools in learning activities. The paper discusses various adequate technologies that can be used for the enhancement of learning and engineering competencies achievement are thus, not viewed as an impingement. Also, it covers the impact of Artificial Intelligence as an easy way out for resolving different student tasks. Educators are still contemplating how to make pedagogical gains from AI to have a positive influence on teaching and learning. It concludes that imagination supports critical thinking skills and problem-solving ability therefore, undue inclination towards the use of AI will end up in losing an individual’s capacity or reducing the confidence in being able to use the imagination. This will end up eluding critical thinking skills and loss of problem-solving ability among future generations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
