For example, specifying a programming language in theprompt not only ensures that the model generates code in the required syntax, but actually canimprove system output (Jayachandran and Blum 2024).General or zero-shot prompting refers to prompting where the large language models areprovided with a task without examples or advanced strategies. For some time now, modelsthat have been fine-tuned with examples relevant to the desired task often perform well withzero-shot prompts (Wei et al. 2021). Moreover, when these prompts are sufficiently detailed,the LLMs can often meet precise requirements (OpenAI 2024). However, if these promptsare unsuccessful, prompt engineering guidelines suggest that users utilize

Our program aimed to simplify this process. We proposed that the labs use a small portion of their grant funds—where they promise research outreach to underrepresented students—to cover the stipends for the interns they hosted. This proposal faced significant pushback. Some faculty were confused by the idea of compensating interns, while others cited lab expenses as a barrier. When it became clear that faculty PIs were not interested in this model, we continued searching for other resources. Ultimately, we pieced together over $25,000 in

Although this is a substantial step in the right direction, some problems arise when observedcarefully. Cybersecurity degree programs develop experts in the field, but not at a high enoughrate to benefit the large gap that exists within the cybersecurity workforce. Cybersecurity coursesare efficient at raising awareness to the students who enroll in them, but offered as senior-levelelective courses in many CS/CE programs. There is a lack of “bridging” in programming coursesthat would allow students to understand how programming and cybersecurity are intertwined withone another.

This enrollment trend, if continued, paired with the projectednear-term need for the profession, suggest a looming civil engineer shortage, if not a crisis forthe profession. The enrollment data further suggest that this undergraduate “recruiting problem”is largely – if not entirely – specific to civil engineering. Low enrollments result in logisticalchallenges pertaining to individual course enrollments. Since resources (including facultypositions and staff support) received by units in a university are often tied to undergraduatestudent numbers, this does not bode well for CE programs and for the
