-building activities will be developed and managed forprogram students. Through live companies, courses, seminars, workshops, competitions, andvolunteerism, students will be part of a special experiential learning model. While providingentrepreneurship and innovation education and helping teams to start and operate ventures areimportant, a continuum of hands-on mentoring will be provided to help students not yet engagedin founding and managing start-ups to develop their entrepreneurial skills. The valuableresidential experience is complemented with the central offices of program staff. In this way,students can easily visit staff offices to discuss their latest new venture idea or to tackle a toughlegal, financial or ethical question.This Honors
and philosophical exploration of the term under a NSF grant on HumanitarianEngineering Ethics (HEE). We learned about humanitarian medics and relief workers emerged inthe 19th century, became organized under the International Red Cross, played significant roles inWW II, but until the 1960s included no engineers. In short, the history of humanitarianism andthe histories of engineering for most of the 19th and 20th centuries are not connected. In thishistorical journey, we came across Doctors without Borders (MSF), perhaps the oldest and mostcomprehensive approach to humanitarian work by a profession. It became clear that the veryrecent Engineers Without Borders (EWB), and other similar organizations, found inspiration inMSF yet were doing

Thesecautions involved not only students’ ethical use of AI, privacy concerns, academic quality,quality of the results generated and legal considerations, but a focus on needs for future policy,ethical review, and monitoring in evaluation of AI-generated content.

Finally, the adoption of automation in the ConstructionManagement curriculum needs to maintain a balance between physical skills and newtechnological competencies to ensure the technological usability for students.Construction automation has been gradually incorporated into the construction engineering andmanagement programs across the United States. The content analysis of 77 U.S. institutions thatoffer the construction management program showed that construction automation and its relevantcomponents have been fully and partially incorporated into twelve institutions, as described inTable 1. There are four institutions that
