    An Examination Of Students’ Perceptions Of The Efficacy Of Using Generative Artificial Intelligence In Structural Engineering Education
    (2025) Ross A., Higgins; Michael J., Quilligan; Declan, T. Phillips; Terence D., Ryan; Michael J., Johnson; Thomas H., Cosgrove
    With the rapid advancement of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools like ChatGPT, their integration into education introduces both opportunities and challenges for students and educators. This study examines Gen Z students’ perceptions of the efficacy of GenAI in structural engineering education. The integration of GenAI tools has the potential to transform how students approach complex engineering problems, yet understanding their perceived value and limitations remains underexplored. The research adopts a mixed-methods approach, centred on a targeted exercise where students complete a series of structural analysis problems using both traditional hand calculations and GenAI. Data collected through pre- and post-exercise surveys, alongside reflective critiques, provided insights into how students' perceptions evolved throughout the exercise. Students reported GenAI to be effective in solving questions related to basic stability and determinacy but, while they found GenAI helpful in explaining procedures, it generally was unable to accurately solve more complicated deflected shape and beam analysis questions. There was a statistically significant increase in students’ perceptions of the efficacy of GenAI to solve stability and determinacy questions following the completion of the exercise, but not in relation deflected shape or beam analysis questions. These findings highlight the importance for students to have a strong foundational structural analysis understanding to effectively evaluate and validate GenAI outputs.

    Geological Gastronomy - A Possible Way Of Explaining Geological Processes For Civil Engineering Students
    (2025) Katerina, Kovarova
    Geology is a crucial and integral part of the curriculum in the study of civil engineering. Geology is essential for civil engineering projects, for example, to understand rock mechanics for the purposes of tunnelling, soil mechanics for the design of building foundations or to assess geological hazards for the safe construction and future use of buildings. However, in general, high school graduates do not come with sufficient basic knowledge of geology, and studies show that they consider it a boring and uninteresting subject in high school that they do not see the relevance to everyday life. Therefore, it is the lecturer's fundamental task to change the mindset of the student majority and prove the need for knowledge of geology in civil engineering. Many teaching methods can be used for this purpose, such as the use of technology and interactive tools, hands-on activities, collaborative learning, etc. However, without exciting the interest of the students, these methods are not effective as such. Therefore, the presented paper discusses methods to primarily engage students' interest in the individual topics discussed and possible methods to explain geological processes by linking them to everyday activities, making complex scientific concepts more accessible and understandable. Furthermore, students will remember and recall information more likely if it is linked to something they already know and understand. Using simple methods, a teacher can tell students an engaging story from the world of geology in which they can easily find connections to the civil engineer's practice.

    3d Scanning For Optimized Historic Building Restoration
    (2025) C., Achour; F., Benmahiddine; V., Lallet; C., Loiselet
    Heritage preservation represents a fertile ground for innovation, bridging engineering education, applied research, and territorial engagement. In this framework, the rural municipality of Mittainvilliers-Vérigny (Eure-et-Loir, France) became an experimental field for second-year engineering students from ESTP Orléans, within their research and innovation training module. The project aimed to engage future engineers with advanced methodologies and technological tools commonly used in both industry and research environments. Beyond technical learning, it provided an authentic opportunity to explore how cutting-edge digital technologies can contribute to the documentation, conservation, and valorization of local built heritage. The restoration of historic buildings, at the crossroads of civil engineering, heritage conservation, and emerging digital construction technologies, represents a major challenge for both architects and engineers. Within this framework, the students focused their research on Saint-Rémy Church, a modest yet emblematic building of the local landscape, built from the 11th century with additions over the centuries, notably during the Renaissance. The existing documentation was limited to a few historical surveys carried out between 1852 and 1854, preserved in the departmental archives. The scientific objectives of the project were twofold: first, to acquire new geometric and material data on the building; second, to explore the potential of cutting-edge digital tools in the context of built heritage conservation. To address these challenges, the students deployed a combination of advanced surveying techniques: 3D laser scanning, photogrammetry, GPS and total station georeferencing, as well as multispectral imaging campaigns, enriching the available documentation. Beyond data acquisition, the digital approach implemented throughout the project opened new perspectives for heritage conservation: accurate 3D modelling of existing structures, early detection of structural disorders, simulation of intervention scenarios, and precise estimation of material quantities required for restoration works. This project provided students with a concrete learning environment, confronting them with real, complex, and interdisciplinary situations. It also offered an opportunity to reflect on the evolving role of the engineer within territorial dynamics, as a technical expert, a cultural actor, and a partner in local development. This pedagogical experience demonstrates how even modest heritage assets can become powerful drivers of innovation, research, and education, while fostering meaningful connections between engineering schools and rural communities.

    Learning Sustainable Construction Principles By Building A Learning-Game
    (2025) Paulo B., Cachim
    Growing concern about sustainability has made it essential to incorporate the principles of sustainable construction into engineering curricula, ensuring that future professionals are well-equipped to deal with the multidisciplinary challenges of the 21st century. Moreover, fostering a broader societal understanding of sustainable construction is equally important, as public awareness can drive demand for more environmentally responsible buildings. To address both objectives, an experiential learning strategy was adopted in the Fundamentals of Sustainable Construction course. Over the semester, students developed a board game designed to teach key concepts of sustainable construction to high school students. The game was then tested with a class of 9th-grade students (aged 14–15) to evaluate its effectiveness. This research highlights an active learning approach where university students not only deepen their understanding of sustainability but also build critical skills—such as analytical thinking, communication, teamwork, and creativity—while contributing to public education and awareness of this pressing societal issue.

    Interviews As An Authentic Form Of Assessment And Learning In The Era Of Artificial Intelligence
    (2025) Declan T., Phillips; Terence, Ryan; Michael, Quilligan; Ross, Higgins
    Before the arrival of modern universities, education in the professional disciplines such as civil engineering was rooted in practical experiences undertaken under the guidance of a master builder or engineers in the guilds. The institutional approach only became formalised in the 18th century with universities largely taking over civil engineering education by the late nineteen century. At this time universities adopted assessment techniques such as oral examinations, fieldwork assessments, drafting assessments and defending project work before a panel of professors or professional engineers. In the modern university, written exams and projects have become the dominant tools for evaluating learning. The integrity of these affordances, particularly when executed outside a proctored environment, is now challenged by the use of AI technology. This paper summarises how incorporating oral defence (aka interviews) as an assessment tool helps differentiate individual student performance and protects the integrity of the learning environment. The interview also prepares student engineers for life in the profession. Since its launch in 2008, the civil engineering programme at the University of Limerick (Ireland) employs interviews as an assessment tool throughout its undergraduate programme. The authors have found interviews to be a robust and reliable means of i) evaluating student learning and ii) decerning if students have undertaken the necessary research to gain understanding. This paper outlines how interviews are used to assess individual student’s understanding of project work when undertaken as part of a team-based exercise. The paper also describes how the efficiency of the interview process can be retained for large class sizes by making small adjustments to adapt the interview methodology for group interviews. Finally, by scheduling the interviews in advance of the final examination allows students to fill gaps in their knowledge prior to the examination. The latter is a popular decision confirmed by graduate feedback collected over the first decade of programme graduates.

    Evolution Of Civil Engineering Degrees In Spain Up To The Present And On-Going Changes At The Civil Engineering School Of A Coruña
    (2025) Acacia, Naves; Isabel, Martínez; Pablo, Rodríguez-Vellando; Victor, Barrientos; Ana M., Váquez; Pilar, Roel
    The transformation of civil engineering education in Spain is presented, particularly following the implementation of the European Higher Education Area reforms in 2010 (Bologna Plan). Historically, Civil engineering studies were structured around two main qualifications: the Technical Engineer in Public Works and the Civil Engineer. After 2010, a new model was introduced comprising a Bachelor's degree that confers technical engineering competencies, followed by a two-year Master's programme that grants full accreditation as an Engineer for Roads, Canals and Ports. Currently, the civil engineering Bachelor's degrees are offered at 27 nationwide, with progressive growth between 1996 and 2012. Sixteen universities currently offer the qualifying Master's programme, reflecting significant growth since the Bologna reforms. The qualifying Master's programs are available at 16 universities, with a marked increase in offerings after the Bologna reforms. Spanish regulations require all accredited degrees to guarantee core professional competencies, ensuring a unified qualification framework while allowing up to 50% curricular differentiation between universities. Degree programmes typically include specializations in the areas of civil construction, hydrology and environmental engineering, or transportation and urban infrastructure. A newly proposed curriculum from the University of A Coruña maintains that general structural pattern but emphasizes mathematics and IT.
