Abstract

While environmental engineering helps to solve major world challenges, it still struggles with diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). This study seeks to understand the current progress of DEI in environmental engineering education at the university level and for professionals. It analyzes studies related to DEI to discover difficulties that hinder its integration and considers proposed solutions for promoting an inclusive environment. Some main obstacles are the low number of minorities, insufficient DEI information in courses and opposition to reform within institutions. Various promising ways such as making changes to the curriculum, inclusive teaching, student mentorship schemes, instructor development and community involvement are covered. Even so, these different approaches often miss proper support and coordination which reduces their usefulness over time. The review points out flaws in how assessment is done and suggests incorporating DEI concepts throughout education policies, teaching activities and professional life. In the end, it recommends ways that teachers, schools and policy groups can promote DEI by staying committed and joining forces.

Abstract

Longhouses in Sarawak were deeply rooted in Indigenous culture but faced significant fire risks due to their wooden structures, open-flame cooking, and poor electrical installations. This study aimed to explore fire safety knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) among a longhouse community in Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 46 respondents using a 25-item questionnaire (Cronbach’s α = 0.76), and data were analyzed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The results revealed that 61% (M = 21.39, SD = ±5.43) of respondents had good fire safety knowledge, 87% (M = 27.74, SD = ±4.77) demonstrated a positive attitude, and 63% (M = 14.72, SD = ±2.56) engaged in good fire safety practices. However, correlation analysis showed no significant relationships (p > 0.05) between knowledge and attitude (r = -0.05), knowledge and practice (r = 0.27), or attitude and practice (r = 0.11), suggesting that knowledge alone did not ensure behavioral change. Factors such as lack of training and risk perception might have influenced fire safety practices. These findings highlighted the need for targeted fire safety interventions, including hands-on training, community engagement, and improved access to fire prevention tools, and emphasized that strengthening fire safety education and policy enforcement was essential to reduce fire incidents in longhouse communities.
