In order to determine which types of air monitoring technologies and what kinds of scientific collaboration work best, the PI will compare monitoring projects with contrasting configurations of technology and collaboration. The PI will create and teach an annual science and engineering ethics course during which students will spend a week in a fenceline community learning from residents and other expert-activists about local environmental hazards and the technologies that produce them.The project will create bridges between engineering professional communities and the public through exchange of expertise. The community collaborations she proposes will simultaneously broaden pathways for non-engineer citizens to actively and substantively participate in engineering projects and broaden the education of engineers to understand the community contexts and environmental justice implications of design decisions.

为了确定哪种类型的空气监测技术和哪种科学合作最有效，PI将比较监测项目与技术和合作的对比配置。该项目将创建并教授一年一度的科学和工程伦理课程，在此期间，学生将在栅栏线社区花费一周的时间，向居民和其他专家活动家学习当地的环境危害及其产生的技术。该项目将通过专业知识的交流，在工程专业社区和公众之间建立桥梁。她提出的社区合作将同时拓宽非工程师公民积极和实质性参与工程项目的途径，并扩大工程师的教育，以了解社区背景和设计决策对环境正义的影响。
