University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. Papadopoulos has diverse interests in structural mechanics, sustainable construction materials (with emphasis in bamboo), engineering ethics, and engineering education. He is co-author of Lying by Approximation: The Truth about Finite Element Analysis, and after many years, he has finally (maybe) learned how to teach Statics, using an experiential and peer-based learning ”studio” model. As part of the UPRM Sustainability Engineering initiative to develop a new bachelor’s degree and curricular sequence, Papadopoulos is PI of A New Paradigm for Sustainability Engineering: A Transdisciplinary, Learner-Centered, and Diversity-Focused Approach, funded by the NSF HSI program, and he is also a

During the Middle Ages, professionalguilds established regulations akin to codes of ethics, ensuring the quality of construction andpenalizing breaches with financial loss or expulsion from the guild [7]. The term “civil engineer”emerged in the 18th century, distinguishing engineers working on civilian infrastructure frommilitary projects. With the formal establishment of engineering societies such as the AmericanSociety of Civil Engineers (ASCE) in 1852, efforts to standardize practices gained momentum,culminating in the formation of key organizations like ASTM International (1898), AASHTO(1914), and NIST (1901) [8].Standards, specifications, and codes are typically developed in response to identified needsarising from industry

This notion arose from the development of ethical principles while performing researchexperiments that involved human subjects and has been translated into frameworks such as theBelmont Principles [57]. A crucial aspect in the process of informing is the development of methodsthat provide individuals and communities with sufficient and useful information to understand therisk and benefits of their decisions [58].
