Issues in terms of justification and feasibility, financing, delivery systems, and public-private collaborations for infrastructure construction work present new challenges and views. Again, even though these topic are not mainstream topics in a typical curriculum, courses related to green design and sustainability issues need to make inroads into infrastructure construction curricula.5.

board game called The Ethics Challenge, in which students try to come up with the “best”answers to a series of ethical dilemmas.6 Some schools incorporate cases into their ethicseducation programs.Although strategies such as these certainly appear to capture students’ attention and activelyengage them in the learning processes, they may be insufficient for developing a sophisticatedsense of ethical awareness. As noted in Karen M.T. Muskavitch’s commentary7 on the use ofcases in ethics education, a paradigm such as this one can limit students’ creativity and perhapserroneously foster a sense of “right-and-wrong-ism” for students when analyzing issues ofethical behavior. Ethical issues are usually very complex and have multiple possible courses

Reality works differently though. Theimplementation of optimization actions in a real context yields direct and indirect impacts tosociety and to individual people. They are further strengthened when projects are implemented orexecuted in international settings, where different systems of laws, regulations, cultures, andvalues play a role. Several examples in the past have shown dramatic consequences for notconsidering ethical implications of engineering decisions in real projects.

(2023), which framesgender disparities in STEM degree attainment as ‘opportunity gaps’ [11]. Moving from‘attainment’ or ‘achievement gaps’ to opportunity gaps focuses on deficits in the broader systemsin which students learn, rather than the students themselves.

paper presents less of a challengethan making prototypes and testing them in the real world. Thus, students fail to receive real-world experience successfully completing the design process for a client. At worst, they areunable to proceed in projects that require structure and iteration because they have not learned astructured design process.In Kenya, Donaldson describes that even in markets where products are constructed locally, nocoherent design process is used and almost no original design is undertaken because they do nothave the required expertise [2]. Building the design capacity of engineers and technicians using alocal design facility can address some of these shortcoming for industry. This is consistent withthe government’s strategy
