Data and its Role in Community Resiliencey Motion in Strained Aluminum

PROJECT NUMBER: 50 | AUTHOR: Julianna Valenzuela​, Civil and Environmental Engineering

MENTOR: Leslie Light, Engineering, Design, and Society

ABSTRACT

As topics like community development, social justice, and sustainability become buzzwords in engineering and science, it becomes crucial to examine the role that engineers play in creating sustainable and socially just communities. This research examines data collection, analysis, and dissemination to determine how traditional data methodologies can be adjusted to better support community needs. By combining existing revolutionary principles and methods like data feminism, data justice, and community based participatory research with collected data and community feedback, the sociotechnical data methodology has been developed. This method can be utilized to ensure that data benefits communities, promotes social justice, and supports organizations working towards sustainable community development.
