identify and cultivate future leaders [21]. They serve as academic,professional and personal mentors, offering valuable guidance.Effective advisors are relationship builders and credible institutional representatives, who fostermeaningful connections with students eager for mentorship [22], [23]. Over time, theadvisor-student relationship often evolves into a lasting bond. Advisors also act as advocates,addressing organizational challenges by proposing solutions and securing external resources,when necessary [24], [25], [26].Active advising significantly contributes to a positive public perception of the studentorganization [27]. Student organizations typically operate with clear missions, visions, and tasks,and advisors are a pivotal role in

scores basedon sentiment polarity scores. The regression coefficient, using Equation 2, was 0.24, confirminga positive relationship between the two variables. This coefficient means that for each unitincrease in sentiment polarity score, there is an expected increase of 0.24 units in the quantitativereview score, holding all else constant. This suggests that while there is a positive impact ofsentiment polarity on the review scores, the effect is moderate. Other factors not captured by thesentiment polarity scores might also play significant roles in determining the quantitative reviewscores. This could include aspects like course content, student expectations, or externalinfluences not reflected in the sentiment analysis. The model confirms a

and maintenance of large-scale infrastructure projects, will be instrumental in thetransition.In addition to the technical expertise civil engineers can bring to bear on infrastructuredevelopment, civil engineers have a responsibility to ensure that development is sustainable. TheAmerican Society of Civil Engineers “recognizes the leadership role of engineers in sustainabledevelopment, and our responsibility to provide effective and innovative solutions in addressingthe challenges of sustainability.”4 This professional responsibility starts with the undergraduatecurriculum, for engineering students in general and civil engineering students specifically. TheAmerican Society of Engineering Education “believes that engineering graduates must

perspectives.Knowledge:There is often a discrepancy between how society identifies social inequity and where the actualissues lie. Therefore, students should be educated about these differences and be able to identifythe inequities that persist in society. Students should also have knowledge of existing resourcesand frameworks such as Justice 40 initiatives, Title VI of civil rights acts, as working withfoundational material often yields a better product than creating an entirely new framework.Furthermore, federal law imposes significant requirements on planners and engineers to addressequity at every stage of a project. Students who understand these frameworks can play a moreimpactful role in integrating social equity considerations. However, since existing

than relying on pre-programmed replies.In previous research it’s been suggested that the use of AI chatbots is a promising gateway tointroducing structural engineers and engineering students to the capabilities of artificialintelligence [2]. However, further investigation of this conclusion reveals that it is not stated ifthere are current versions of generative AI chatbots which are better suited for the professionalengineer or student in structural engineering related fields. To ensure that engineers and studentsare being provided with accurate information from AI Chatbots, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini,Copilot, and SE GPT are asked identical questions related to the field of structural engineering.The accuracy of their responses is used to
