by AI has made AI literacy a crucial competency forindividual development, turning its cultivation into a “human issue [3].” This need isparticularly urgent for higher education students [4], as industries worldwide require top talentswith AI literacy to drive the intelligent transformation of business processes and products,while making trustworthy and ethical decisions [5]. In response, students are calling for AIliteracy to be integrated into their higher education curricula to better prepare for the challengesof the intelligent era and future careers. For instance, a survey on the use of generative AIamong undergraduates [6], found that students most commonly recommended offering relevantcourses and lectures, with a particular focus on

Learning through failure is anextremely important part of entrepreneurial education and a lesson that can help studentsthroughout their career. Learning from what works and does not work in startup companies andtechnology transfer can be a key part of the process [12], [13]. Many of these topics andtechniques are already embedded in civil engineering courses such as learning through failure,looking at design options, and considering social and economic impacts of designs.There are numerous methods of incorporating new topics into curriculum including addingmaterial to individual classes, creating new programs and certificates, and developing newmajors [14].

These practices include critical thinking, problem-solving, and the application ofengineering principles, all of which are crucial for preparing students for future careers and forenhancing their ability to engage with the world around them. However, despite these broadmandates, there remains a striking lack of research on how students with ID and ESN, who mayneed pervasive and ongoing support in academic and daily living activities, engage withengineering practices. This gap in both research and instructional practice leaves many studentswith disabilities excluded from fully participating in engineering learning opportunities.Current State of

Despite these drawbacks, traditional exams remain thestandard evaluation tool in many academic disciplines, particularly in construction-relatedfields [12].Stress, however, is not just a result of knowledge gaps but can also occur when studentsknow the material but are overwhelmed by anxiety, preventing them from reasoning clearlyor applying their knowledge effectively [13].

The researchers expectedly find that ‘black’ men, ‘black’ women, and ‘white’women each face callback penalties relative to ‘white’ men when applying laterally to early-career positions. Nevertheless, among applicants to mid-level positions, ‘white’ women are –surprisingly – preferred. Weishaar and colleagues explain that ‘white

[9]. Meanwhile, electric vehicle present novel ethical dilemmas withrespect to rare earth metals and materials sourcing for batteries [10], increased weight andineffective guardrails for crashes [11], and levels of autonomy in full self-driving algorithms [12].These emerging technologies and the dilemmas they present will be paramount to engineers’preparedness for the future responsibilities they may have in the profession. To ensure that thisABET student outcome is achieved, a culture of engineering engagement is promoted, andengineers are prepared for the future challenges ahead in their careers, I argue that we mustdevelop forward-thinking, modern, and discipline-specific engineering ethics content. This paper outlines the
