Unfortunately, today's interconnected digital networks have increased vulnerabilities andcyber threats. The frequency of cyber threats in critical infrastructures and across all applicationsectors has risen. Moreover, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has expanded the threat landscape to a newlevel by integrating sophisticated mechanisms (e.g., automated coding, deepfakes, socialengineering) capable of manipulating and exploiting humans, systems, or networks.

It is yet to be seen how or when regulations will be put in place astechnologies mature, but it can be expected that increased public awareness will result inpolitical forces further shaping technology implementation.Specific to civil engineering, we have seen recent climate change protests resulting from activistslike 17-year-old Greta Thunberg. As society becomes more vocal about engineering issues thatimpact future generations, political will for change also increases.

asset value has exceeded $800billion, of which about 60% in power plants, 10% in high voltage transmission networks, and30% in lower voltage distribution facilities. The annual electric bills paid by America’s 131million electricity customers from business to household are about $247 billion1. With thegrowing need from computerized economy, it is estimated that U.S. electricity demand will growby 39% from 2005 to 2030, reaching 5.8 billion MWh by 20302. On the other hand, the existingpower grid with aging infrastructure is operating in ways that are increasingly inadequate. Themajority of power plants have been more than 30 years, with out-of-date technologies and lowefficiency. Distribution transformers are approaching an average age of 40
technologies start to emerge, allowing for real-time dataexchange between utilities and consumers. These new and innovative grid technologies includemicrogrids, energy storage systems, and demand response programs which have been developedto enhance grid resilience and flexibility. In addition, the integration of renewable energy sourceslike wind, solar, and hydropower into the grid has expanded significantly. The development ofalternative energies to generate electricity has allowed society to not only rely on conventionalelectrical grids to have constant electricity but also have a backup system to generate electricity.For this reason, distributed energy resources such as rooftop solar panels and small wind turbineshave become common.Microgrids

UNIVERSITIESEngineering education in developed countries is seen as a benchmark for all others. Itsteaching strategies, combined with assessing knowledge and the infrastructure of modernlaboratories and classrooms, allow students to develop their skills and prepare themselvesprofessionally for the job market. At the same time, engineering education is not valued inBrazil. Its teaching methodologies are traditional and directed towards a final concept. Withthis, essential skills for the job market are partially developed, such as teamwork, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Thus, as similar strategies to those that companies do, abenchmarking to understand how this process takes place. This benchmarking is essential fordirecting engineering education based
