- lang: eng
  text: Especially in highly interdisciplinary fields such as automation engineering,
    contemporary programming education with tailored assignments and individual feedback
    is a major challenge for educational institutions due to the increasing number
    of students per teacher and the ever-increasing demand for computer science professionals.
    To address this gap, we present ”KIAAA” an AI Assistant for Automation Engineering
    Teaching, a work-in-progress approach for an integrated, customized, and AI-based
    learning support system for automation and programming courses based on instructor-defined
    course objectives. Thereby in the KIAAA system, the individual knowledge level
    of the students is determined and individually tailored virtual learning scenarios
    are generated based on the knowledge and learning profile of the students. These
    are iteratively adapted based on the answers given. To achieve this, KIAAA uses
    several AI components, a hybrid rule-based scenario generation component, a Help-DKT-based
    cognitive model, and a solution assessor that uses a combination of traditional
    code analysis methods and AI-based analyses methods for automated programming
    task assessment. These components are the main parts of KIAAA to generate customized
    programming scenarios as well as visualization and simulation based on a modern
    game and physics engine.
