Relevance for Professional Preparation in Civil EngineeringAbstractArtificial intelligence (AI) is no longer an emerging technology, and many industries areintegrating AI tools into their workflows. In civil engineering, machine learning and optimizationmethods are being developed and applied to assist with decision-making in design, development,evaluation, maintenance, and operation of infrastructure systems. While it is difficult to gaugethe progression of AI technology within the industry, it seems likely that generative AI is in use.Given the ongoing integration of AI methods and tools in civil engineering, it is important toconsider how civil engineering students view AI, how they interact with AI tools as part of theireducation, and how
