SUMMARY:Engineering Environmental Data Justice: From citizen science to community data
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering for this Lunch & Learn seminar series\, A Bimonthly seminar series focusing on convergent research\, bringing together Northeastern colleagues and collaborators to think big/bold\, explore ideas that build cooperation and foster transformative innovation within CEE and across disciplines beyond CEE. \nAbstract: Premature births\, unexplained human and livestock sicknesses\, flammable water faucets\, toxic wells and the onset of hundreds of earthquakes\, the impacts of fracking in the United States are far-reaching and deeply felt. In this talk Dr. Wylie explores how extractive resource systems\, like natural gas extraction through fracking\, are proceeded and supported by extractive data systems that create asymmetric access to information. Drawing together the fields of Environmental Health\, Environmental Justice and Data Justice\, Wylie explores how we can build community centered information systems that help create accountability for corporations and state agencies.\nBased on her work building tools for community monitoring of the oil and gas industry and co-developing the watchdog organization the Environmental Data and Governance Initiative (EDGI) Dr. Wylie reflects on how we can create community centered research and data systems that move beyond mapping exposure disparities to address the drivers of toxic contamination and make corporations responsible for their environmental harms. This precious present moment for action on Climate Change provides an opportunity to jointly create sustainable and just systems. Now is the time\, Wylie argues to organize and collectively theorize\, design\, and engineer environmental data justice. \nBio: Sara Wylie is an Associate Professor Sociology/Anthropology and Health Science in Northeastern University’s Social Science Environmental Health Research Institute (SSEHRI). Her award-winning book Fractivism: Corporate Bodies and Chemical Bonds examines the U.S. unconventional energy industry. She is the co-founder of the citizen science organization Public Lab and the accountability organization Environmental Data and Governance Initiative (EDGI).

SUMMARY:ChE Seminar Series: Game-Inspired Approaches to Engineering Education Across the Curriculum
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: \nDr. Daniel Burkey \nAssociate Dean of Undergraduate Education and Diversity\, Professor-in-Residence in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering\, and a University Teaching Fellow at University of Connecticut \nAbstract: \nGame-based educational techniques can be an interesting and novel approach to active learning in engineering courses. Because games often exist within their own rule sets\, they can allow students to explore scenarios and make choices that they wouldn’t otherwise make because they are appropriate within the context and the rules of the game. In this talk\, we discuss two different projects involving game-based learning. In the first\, we explore multiple game-based approaches to teaching engineering ethics to freshmen engineering students in a multidisciplinary setting. At the beginning of the semester\, students are given a baseline survey to quantify the sophistication of their ethical reasoning. Over the course of the semester\, different game-based interventions are given to the students\, and the survey instrument again is used to determine any changes in their ethical reasoning. The game-based interventions by their nature allow students to explore ethical reasoning in the context of behavioral ethics. In the second project\, we discuss the development and use of a digital video game to teach process safety to senior chemical engineering students. Our research team developed a survey instrument to gauge the sophistication of student thinking about process safety. Students completing the survey instrument and then completing similar scenarios in the game show statistically significant differences in the types of responses they make\, indicating that different reasoning modes may be activated by the game due to its more authentic and realistic portrayal of the material. \nBio: \nDaniel D. Burkey is the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Education and Diversity\, Professor-in-Residence in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering\, and a University Teaching Fellow at the University of Connecticut. Dr. Burkey holds his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Lehigh University in Bethlehem\, PA\, and his M.S.C.E.P. and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Prior to UConn\, he held positions at Northeastern University and at GVD Corporation in Cambridge\, MA. Since joining UConn in 2010\, Dr. Burkey’s area of research has focused broadly on engineering education\, and specifically on moral and ethical development of engineering students\, process safety education\, and game-inspired educational techniques. Dr. Burkey currently serves as a Director of the Education Division of AIChE\, where he runs the Future Faculty Mentoring Program. He is a past program chair of the ASEE Chemical Engineering Division and serves on the publications board of Chemical Engineering Education. In 2020\, he was inducted into the Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering (CASE) for his contributions to engineering education in the state. In addition to his many teaching awards\, Dr. Burkey is also the recipient of the 2020 AICHE Education Division Innovation Award for his contributions to new pedagogies in chemical engineering education\, as was recently awarded the 2021 ASEE Corcoran Award for the best paper in Chemical Engineering Education in the previous year.

SUMMARY:Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition
DESCRIPTION:Please join Graduate Women in Science and Engineering (GWiSE) for our annual Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition! This year the 3MT competition will take place on Wednesday\, November 17th\, 6pm-8pm in Snell Library 090. Our Keynote speaker Dr. Jo Viney\, an entrepreneurial scientist\, a self-described “drug-hunter”\, and an experienced biotech executive\, will help us kick start the event with a short presentation on the importance of science communication both in academia and in industry. \nWhat is the Three Minute Thesis Competition?\nThe Three Minute Thesis competition or 3MT\, is an annual competition held in more than 200 universities worldwide. It is open to graduate students\, and challenges participants to present their research in just 180 seconds\, in an engaging form that can be understood by an intelligent audience with no background in the research area. This exercise develops presentation\, research and academic communication skills and supports the development of research students’ capacity to explain their work effectively. And of course\, a chance to win some amazing prizes! \nInterested in Competing?\nTo compete\, please only fill out this form by Friday\, November 5th. \nInterested in simply attending and watching the competition?\nPlease RSVP at this form to attend. Please be aware that the in-person attendance is limited to the first 50 people. Once the reservations are in\, we will reach out to let you know if you are able to attend in person. There will be snacks and beverages during the networking portion prior to the start of the event and pizza and beverages for after the event.
