Yetmisrepresenting the significance of mathematics in K-12 engineering may give students a falsesense of what engineering

This highlights a significant gap between the role needed by society and theeducational preparation for structural engineers.Despite the importance of incorporating community resilience and DEI concepts into thecurriculum, it is not a trivial task due to the concepts’ complexity. These concepts are definedbased on other complex subjects, such as multi-criteria decision-making, systems analysis, riskanalysis, and socio-economic disaster impact analysis.
