Engineering and Sustainable Community Development de Juan Lucena

Engineering and Sustainable Community Development: Synthesis Lectures on Engineers, Technology, & Society

Autor Juan Lucena, Jen Schneider, Jon A. Leydens
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 mar 2010
This book, Engineering and Sustainable Community Development, presents an overview of engineering as it relates to humanitarian engineering, service learning engineering, or engineering for community development, often called sustainable community development (SCD). The topics covered include a history of engineers and development, the problems of using industry-based practices when designing for communities, how engineers can prepare to work with communities, and listening in community development. It also includes two case studies -- one of engineers developing a windmill for a community in India, and a second of an engineer "mapping communities" in Honduras to empower people to use water effectively -- and student perspectives and experiences on one curricular model dealing with community development.Table of Contents: Introduction / Engineers and Development: From Empires to Sustainable Development / Why Design for Industry Will Not Work as Design for Community / Engineering with Community / Listening to Community / ESCD Case Study 1: Sika Dhari's Windmill / ESCD Case Study 2: Building Organizations and Mapping Communities in Honduras / Students' Perspectives on ESCD: A Course Model / Beyond Engineers and Community: A Path Forward

Notă biografică

Juan Lucena is Associate Professor in the Liberal Arts and International Studies Division (LAIS) at the Colorado School of Mines, where he teaches courses for engineers in the Humanitarian Engineering minor. Juan obtained a Ph.D. in Science and Technology Studies (STS) from Virginia Tech and a MS in STS and BS in Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). He is the author of Defending the Nation: U.S. Policymaking to Create Scientists and Engineers from Sputnik to the "War Against Terrorism" (University Press of America, 2005). He has been principal investigator on research grants related to globalization and engineering, the national and cultural dimensions of engineering, humanitarianism and engineering, and engineering and social justice. Having served in key advising groups in engineering education and policy, he is currently a member of the advisory committee for the Center for Engineering Ethics and Society at the National Academy of Engineering. Juan is co-editor of Engineering Studies, the Journal of the International Network for Engineering StudiesJen Schneider is Assistant Professor in the Liberal Arts and International Studies Division (LAIS) at the Colorado School of Mines (CSM), where she has taught for seven years. Jen's Ph.D. and M.A. degrees are in Cultural Studies from Claremont Graduate University, where her work focused on popular cultural representations of "grotesque bodies" in the postwar era through a study of fiction and film. Since coming to CSM in 2003, Jen has applied ways to apply her education in critical theory and media studies to problems in science, engineering, and engineering education. Her current research interests address how scientists and engineers communicate with the public and media about emerging risks and environmental crises, such as climate change, nanotechnology, and nuclear power. She also analyzes popular media texts such as film to understand how the public, and engineers and scientists, developmental and affective models related to these risks. At CSM, she teaches courses in communication and media studies. A second significant focus of Jen's work has to do with understanding how engineers work to address problems in environment and resources, primarily through projects in engineering, sustainable community development, and social justice. She co-teaches courses in engineering and sustainable community development (ESCD) with Jon, Juan, and others at CSM.Jen Schneider is Assistant Professor in the Liberal Arts and International Studies Division (LAIS) at the Colorado School of Mines (CSM), where she has taught for seven years.
