This is because of the various benefits of mass timber, such asstructural stability, fire performance, ease of construction, low carbon footprint, and biophilicaesthetic. One identified obstacle in the gradual adoption of mass timber construction is thelimited availability of qualified engineers

global scales, students tended to choose answers that were more central, withaverage values close to 3 for all responses. Answers trending toward the center likely suggeststudents had lower confidence in their answers and wanted to select an option that seemed“safe.” Comparing local to global scale responses, global scale responses tended to be slightlylower, suggesting a trend toward engineering projects favoring developing countries. Theseresponses may be due to messaging many young engineers receive, of engineering being a toolfor sustainable development and technologic advancement locally and in other countries [24].Collectively, these results suggest an opportunity to more explicitly address the social justicequestion of “who benefits and
