The civil engineering’s profession’s ability to deliver on the Grand Challenge issupported equally by its unique knowledge base, sense of professional and ethical responsibilityand the profession’s ability to create, innovate, and apply this knowledge throughout project andasset life-cycles.The roadmap to successfully answering the Grand Challenge includes (1) taking appropriatelevels of risks, (2) being proactive, (3) being innovative, (4) developing, maintaining and usingdynamic core competencies, (5) building sustained competitive advantages, and most importantof all (6) creating value for our stakeholders.

The Haloeffect describes many of the biases that a professor might bring into a grading session fromgrading previous work [13], [14]. There are other forms of bias that have been reported, whichinclude attachment toward your students, gender, personality, work ethic, and personal bias [11],[14]. One research project focused on investigating 30 professors in the same department thatgraded undergraduate psychology papers. Significant differences were seen in the grading resultsof professors who graded their own class and professors who graded students
. Theaverage starting salary for environmental engineers increased by 51%. While industrial,mechanical, and agricultural engineering showed a salary increase of 38%, 34%, and 25%,respectively, the increases were less significant.Licensure plays a key role in salary increase for civil engineers. A Professional Engineeringlicense (PE) allows a civil engineer to sign and seal engineering documents for private or publicprojects. A PE, or a “Professional Engineer”, is respected as an ethical and competent publicservant. In order to obtain a license from a particular state’s licensing agency, an engineer mustcomplete a four-year engineering degree from an accredited program, pass two thorough state-specific exams, and complete four years of engineering work

Because of the benefits to the field, some view it as imperativethat we more intentionally include students with disabilities within the civil engineering contextbecause they can provide nuanced and important insights to advance the accessibility ofinfrastructure and the field of civil engineering design. While we agree that diversity itself can beadvantageous, however, we believe it is equally, if not more, imperative to address inclusionfrom the perspective of justice and equity.
