knowledge andskills to respond to technological advancements, societal shifts, and changing expectations.Higher education institutions must also respond and adapt to these changes by supporting thedevelopment of the skills and competencies essential for student success and problem-solvingin this dynamic environment. Among these skills, we focus on engineering judgment as a criticalcapability for mindfully addressing complex, real-world problems. Recognizing its importance,ABET has emphasized the development of engineering judgment in two of its StudentOutcomes, highlighting the need for strategic educational approaches [1]. Engineering judgment involves making informed decisions in complex and uncertainsituations, often leveraging a
sustainability education. This includes integrating experiential learning opportunities,interdisciplinary collaborations, and exposure to industry-standard tools and methodologies. Suchefforts will equip students with the comprehensive skill set needed to address the complex andinterconnected challenges of sustainable development.Ultimately, this study underscores the importance of refining sustainability education to align withthe growing demands of the modern engineering profession. By fostering a deeper understandingof all dimensions of sustainability; environmental, social, economic, and technological—HBCUsand similar institutions can position their graduates as leaders in advancing sustainabledevelopment goals (SDGs) and driving systemic change in

implementing educational videos at Manhattan University, anundergraduate-focused institution. The effectiveness of the AI generated multimedia content isassessed relative to traditionally developed multimedia content through the implementation of amultiple-choice technical assessment and survey focused on student perception and satisfaction.In order for AI to be an effective tool in higher education faculty must be willing to embrace andimplement these technological capabilities into their current pedagogy. Survey data wascollected from engineering educators from various disciplines to better understand currentfaculty perception and usage of AI as an educational tool. The preliminary results reported hereinprovide valuable insights from the study
inequalities emerge across courses due to differences ininstructors’ skills, attributes, and attitudes, which range from pioneering creators to earlyadopters, to unwilling change-embracers [2]. It is evident that approaches to teachingengineering continue to evolve. The key question persists about how educators can overcome ourown new knowledge deficit to best help engineering students cultivate a growth mindset fornavigating technological disruptions, without inducing stress or anxiety about rapidly shiftingnorms.In this paper, we present initial findings on student attitudes toward the use of interpreted, high-level object-oriented programming languages such as Python [3] and R [4] in the problem-solving process within coursework. This study is part

CE201 was added to thecivil engineering curriculum during the fall of 2018 and has subsequently been offered every fallsemester. As a required course in the civil engineering curriculum, it is commonly taken during astudent’s first semester in the program, but occasionally it is taken later by students who transferinto the program late. The course is typically team-taught by 2-3 instructors.There are multiple writing assignments within CE201. One reflective essay requires students towrite about their process of selecting
