چکیده English

This paper discusses the impacts of digital technologies on the effectiveness of chemical engineering education and their potential to enhance students’ professional skills. The integration of digital technologies, such as spreadsheets, mathematical softwares, industrial simulators, virtual and augmented reality, and artificial intelligence tools, has revolutionized the field of chemical engineering education by creating interactive and contemporary learning environments. These tools can enhance the comprehension and application of concepts and facilitate problem analysis and solving. They also provide virtual practical experiences and stimulate greater engagement with the subject matter among students. However, the adoption of digital technologies also presents certain challenges that should be addressed carefully. These include the need for adequate infrastructure, training, and appropriate assessment methods for fair evaluation of student performance. Despite these challenges, the effective utilization of digital technologies in chemical engineering education can enable students to cultivate and refine their technical and professional skills. Moreover, it can assist professors and researchers in developing advanced tools and improving the overall educational experience.
