. These impacts are particularly pronounced in regions with limited resources tocombat theft, where the compounding effects of non-technical losses and infrastructuredeficiencies hinder economic development and social progress.Addressing electricity theft also represents an interdisciplinary challenge at the intersection ofengineering, policy, and technology. By examining electricity theft through the lens ofengineering problem-solving, this paper introduces students and educators to real-worldapplications of electrical engineering, artificial intelligence, and data science. It provides a casestudy that combines technical challenges, societal impacts, and innovative solutions, illustratingthe broader relevance of engineering to pressing global
