Engineering Education, 2024Integrating Climate Change Into Engineering EducationAbstractClimate change is one of the major societal challenges of this century and students that graduatefrom engineering programs must be equipped and prepared to address this challenge. Addressingit will require broad societal changes with impacts that will reverberate through all engineeringdisciplines. Therefore, it is imperative that climate change and its associated impacts areintegrated into engineering curriculum so that the future workforce will be ready.In civil engineering, the impacts will present challenges to the design and maintenance of criticalinfrastructure systems that support daily life. The key question then becomes “how do weprepare students for
