Module 17: Evaluation, Security, Governance, Ethics, and Professional Responsibility - Worked Examples

Agentic Engineering For Civil Engineers

These examples treat trustworthy AI use as an engineering control problem: identify consequence, protect data, verify evidence, preserve human accountability, and document limitations.

Detecting a Fabricated Code Citation

For this exercise, design and verify an AI-assisted civil-engineering workflow for Detecting a Fabricated Code Citation. State the relevant evidence, assumptions, tool or method boundaries, expected output, and the independent check or human approval required before consequential use.
