the expansion of public transportation and the electrification of rail systems • Assessment of Environmental Impacts: subtopics include air and water quality, ocean acidification, and coastal resilienceIn Table 1, we show courses into which we are planning to incorporate sustainability content. Allclasses shown are required courses for the civil engineering degree program at WIT. An “X”indicates that the traditional content of the course in the column header lends itself most readilyto applications related to the subtopic of sustainability in the row header. An “O” indicates thatmaterial for that course relevant to that subtopic is included in this syllabus. This chart wasinspired by the one presented for mechanical

five design courses that civilengineering students must complete to satisfy their fourth-year degree requirements in theauthor’s institute. This is a project-based course that emphasizes active learning and integratesreal-world examples and case studies throughout. The course includes a group design project, sixhomework assignments, four reading quizzes, three exams, and weekly discussions. In Fall 2024,twenty-seven students enrolled and successfully completed the course. A syllabus statementadhering to the university's recommended language was included to address the use of GenAItools in the course (refer to Appendix A). This ensured that students were clearly informed of theexpectations and guidelines for using GenAI within the
