Among all engineering disciplines,awareness of diversity, equity, and inclusion has particular relevance to civil engineers. The ASCECode of Ethics [5] establishes a clear hierarchy of stakeholder groups, in descending order ofpriority: Society, Natural and Built Environment, Profession, Clients and Employers, and Peers.Ethical responsibilities towards “Society”, the highest level of stakeholder identified in the ASCECode of Ethics, begin with: “first and foremost, protect the health, safety, and welfare of thepublic” (Provision 1a, [5]).

This approach also has the added benefit of building students’ technical communicationskills across a range of modes and mediums.

Rising temperatures, prolonged droughts, andshifting precipitation patterns, all exacerbated by climate change, have created more favorableconditions for wildfires (Lee and Banerjee 2021, Keelay, J. et al. 2009). Additionally, increaseddevelopment in fire-prone areas and accumulated vegetation due to past fire suppression effortshave further heightened the risk.

Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to be felt both in academia and industry, yetits full potential is yet to be exploited for the common good. While AI technologies areincreasingly being implemented, questions linger over their long-term impact on education andthe workforce. Recent research efforts have focused on promoting the ethical and responsible useof AI. As a result, explainable AI, which focuses on helping users understand how AI systemsmake decisions, has received a lot of interest [1].Even though some skepticism about AI decisions still lingers, it is already transformingworkplaces by enhancing efficiency, automating repetitive tasks, and enabling data-drivendecision-making.
