Something tells me the 'scholars' are either full of crap, or

somehow plan to make a buttload of money on this bullshit.  Probably both.
Civil engineering courses should not just focus on how to construct sewers, build roads, or design bridges — they should also include “social justice” and “diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice,” according to a recent academic paper.

“Civil engineering students need to engage with diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) so they can understand the differential impacts of engineering on individuals from different groups within society,” a group of professors wrote in a paper for the Journal of Civil Engineering Education.

Engineering students need to learn the skills and knowledge to build things that work and don't fall apart, which requires the coursework and technical content these morons seem to look down on.  It does not require 'social justice' games.

I swear, these people actually WANT to ruin the world.

I think your last sentence in this true.

Great! Soon there will be no Interstate highways in the urban cores.

Maybe it's about the power trip.
When they can get people to do stuff detrimental to the project/product/etc, they get that "I'm so important, I got hem to do some stupid sh##, ha-ha-ha" mentality. It's gotta be a helluva rush.

He...the left WANTS to destroy modern society. They don't understand how it works, didn't build it and can't maintain it. Thus they are insulted by it and want ANYTHING that makes them feel inferior destroyed.

Thats going to Fair Well for us.
We will get the best in engineering.

I've s saying about Engineers - Good Engineers cost money, bad Engineers cost more money, or in this scenario, lives. '92 P.E.

Just some faculty generating make-work for their liberal DEI buddies so they have a cushy job in academia. It's like making holes in the wall to let rats in.

I didn't know many engineering students who would tolerate this kind of bullsh*t. I don't foresee those classes going very smoothly.

“social justice” and “diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice”
They throw out these buzzwords like we’re supposed to give a shit.
If you can’t do the job, there are others who actually care if the bridge keeps standing and they will replace you.
Even if {{gasp}} they’re the “wrong” color or straight.

So studying and subscribing to the DEIJ way of thinking will make shit flow better through a sewer?

Maybe they actually believe it. Or they think that if you're a disapproved part of humanity yours does and you're supposed to feel guilty about it.
