Justification: As technology advances, Caribbean engineers must be prepared not only with technical expertise but also with leadership, ethical reasoning, and legal frameworks to guide sustainable and socially responsible practice. This theme examines how education, management, law, and ethics intersect to produce competent, accountable, and future-ready professionals.

• Education: Integrating sustainability, digital skills, and interdisciplinary problem-solving into engineering curricula; leveraging e-learning and simulation tools
• Management: Project and risk management strategies for complex, multi-stakeholder environments; innovation management and entrepreneurship in engineering
• Law: Navigating construction law, intellectual property, standards, and regulatory compliance in local and regional contexts
• Ethics: Case studies on engineering integrity, professional accountability, AI ethics, and balancing innovation with societal impact
• Cross-Cutting: Gender equity, diversity, and inclusion in engineering education and practice
