capabilities. Critics argue that AI, while impressivein specific applications, may not fundamentally transform society to the degree its proponentssuggest. These discussions are essential in grounding expectations and ensuring that thedeployment of AI aligns with ethical and sustainable practices [4].Recent developments, such as OpenAI’s innovations with GPT-4.5 (O1) and GPT-5 (O3), havereignited these debates. OpenAI’s blog posts on O1 and O3 reveal breakthroughs in efficiencyand multimodal learning, further advancing the capabilities of AI systems. These modelsdemonstrate enhanced performance in generating human-like text, image recognition, andproblem-solving. Their release has intensified discussions around the responsible integration ofAI into

displacement of marginalized communities to be the most impactful aspect of the assignment.Students also highlighted increased ethical awareness, practical applications of communityfeedback, and a broader perspective on engineering’s societal implications. This paper reflects onthe course design and early outcomes of the intervention, demonstrating how historicallygrounded assignments can foster greater awareness of DEI considerations among engineeringstudents. By equipping students with the skills to critically assess the societal implications ofengineering decisions, the intervention lays the groundwork for creating inclusive urbanenvironments. Future efforts should focus on institutional support and scaling such initiatives topromote a more

educators can significantly improvestudents’ understanding of disaster resilience, proactive planning, and the ethical use oftechnology in civil engineering contexts.IntroductionThe frequency of wildfires in California has markedly increased in recent years, driven by acombination of climatic and anthropogenic factors. 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. As a result, the state has seen a surge in both the number andintensity

Utilize systematic approaches to select, develop, apply, integrate, and administer securecomputing technologies to accomplish user objectives. (Advanced Application) Formal student outcome statements are provided with concise descriptors to facilitate meaningful discussions. Listing lengthy descriptions can be cumbersome to follow, and simple enumeration of student outcomes (e.g., SO#1 lacks clarity) is more effective. For instance: Student Outcome (SO#1): Analyze a broadly defined problem within the program’s domain and apply

experience introduced in senior design has the potential of providing students withresearch opportunities otherwise unavailable to them, having an enormous impact on theirprofessional trajectory, from career choices to life-long learning.Both industry-sponsored capstone design projects and research heavy senior design projectsprovide the opportunity to develop student-mentor relationships, hand-on experience, and self-learning about chosen topics. [12, 16, 19]REU integrates interdisciplinary approaches to teaching problem-solving and critical thinking,often with broader societal goals like sustainability, ethics, and decision-making [7, 20].Similarly, capstone design courses aim to prepare students for the transition to professionalengineering

The first minor in marine engineering technology is designedto increase awareness about marine engineering careers, and the second minor in marine electro-technology is designed to introduce students to the cutting-edge technology now on vessels.Also, Texas A&M University designed the cybersecurity minor [6] in which the students acquirea basic understanding of programming, and a firmly grounded understanding of cybersecurity, toinclude cyber ethics [9]. On the other hand, considering that global economies are movingtowards decreasing their carbon footprint, Drexel University and University of Texas at El Paso(UTEP) offer green energy and sustainability engineering technology minor.

productive collaboration within the team. • Standards and Ethics – Areas relevant to each project are identified and discussed both within and between the teams. • Project Proposal – This is a document that serves as the agreement between the team and the sponsor company. It specifies the formal problem statement, background, goals, information needed, deliverables, and target value. • Data Collection – This process is started before the end of the semester to take advantage of the break. Students might request quantitative data to give the company ample lead time or perhaps employ a survey process that can run between semesters.Second Semester • Team Performance – Time is taken to

and management of interview participants requirecareful planning and ethical considerations, ensuring that the voices of all participants are heardand respected. For those new to qualitative research, it is important to develop clear protocols forparticipant recruitment and maintain open communication lines throughout the process. This notonly facilitates smoother interactions but also builds trust with participants, which is vital forobtaining rich, meaningful data [10].Focus group facilitation is another critical aspect of the methodology, allowing for dynamicdiscussions that reveal nuanced perspectives on the research topic. Researchers should havefacilitation skills to guide conversations effectively while allowing participants to express
