CAREER: Environmental Justice and the Ethics of Science and Technology

为了确定哪种类型的空气监测技术和哪种类型的科学合作效果最好，PI将比较不同技术和合作配置的监测项目。PI将创建并教授一门年度科学和工程伦理课程，学生们将在围栏社区度过一个星期，向居民和其他专家活动人士学习当地环境危害及其产生技术。该项目将通过交流专业知识，在工程专业团体和公众之间架起桥梁。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地参与工程项目的途径，并拓宽工程师的教育，以了解设计决策的社区背景和环境正义含义。

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.
