It's important for Kaylee to keep a record of all communications and events related to this issue. This includes documenting the PM's request, her attempts to address it, and any communication with internal resources or others. 5. If the situation remains unresolved and falsification of billable hours continues, Kaylee may need to consider a difficult decision. This could involve escalating the issue to a higher authority or even seeking a new position within a more ethical company.Closing notes: While career advancement is

importance of educatingfuture generations of engineers with respect to coastal resiliency has become increasinglyobvious. There are uncertainties in the future levels of greenhouse gases and the predictivemodels of future climate that make it difficult to define the statistics of future climate andweather extremes [3, 4]. The planning and design of new coastal infrastructure must consider thefuture climate to ensure a safe and resilient design. Therefore, it is the responsibility of not onlyindustry, but also of academic institutions to educate students (future leaders) about theimportance of mitigating the impacts of climate change and developing appropriate solutions.In 2016, the civil and environmental engineering faculty at the CGA recognized

among educators. Some faculty have completely banned AI use in theircourses, while others embrace AI as a new learning tool [6].The emergence of AI is prompting civil engineering faculty to reflect on whether we shouldadjust our educational approaches. For civil engineering faculty at accredited institutions, wemust look to ABET for guidance [9]. While the current guidelines do not address specific toolsand methodologies, it seems reasonable to expect that AI may become part of standard practiceused to solve engineering problems (addressing ABET Student Outcome 1). The application ofAI may also be useful in developing engineering designs that are holistic and meet a variety ofpublic needs (addressing ABET Student Outcome 2). Communication

This was uniformly important throughout the faculty narratives. All faculty mentioned methods to increase student interest in the project/field and support their self-efficacy as researchers. Further, the student survey, regardless of student gender, emphasized the importance of mentor “personal consideration.” (3) Mentors should provide career support, particularly for female mentees. While all undergraduate students should receive some level of career support, the female students surveyed indicated this as the most important role of the faculty research mentor

PtD. The two obstacles are the lack ofknowledge among practitioners and the absence of training materials. Thus, it is recommendedthat these obstacles be overcome strategically. Following the survey recommendations, the nextstep in enhancing PtD utilization involves developing educational modules in collaboration withcivil engineering design faculty and other stakeholders. Hence, these modules will meet therequirements of diverse civil engineering disciplines and address potential concerns. Additionally,they will fulfill industry requirements by incorporating the perspectives and input of practitionerswho are potential implementers of PtD in their planning, design, or construction processes. Thus,the modules should address the target

In this method, students are introduced to an engineeringfailure related to the topic and then asked to identify potential reasons for failure, rank potentialcauses, and explore a new concept cooperatively. Through this process, studentscomprehensively understand the fundamental principles they later encounter in abstract concepts.This approach solves a common issue with traditional teaching methods that present abstractconcepts before providing real-world examples, which can hinder student learning.
