In this presentation, Herriges demonstrates how the values of engineers and other transportation professionals are applied in the design process…and how those priorities differ from the values of the general public. 

 
By showing how transportation investments are a means to an end and not an end unto themselves, Herriges reveals how the standard approach to issues like fighting congestion, addressing speeding, and designing intersections only makes transportation problems worse, at great cost in terms of both safety and resources. 
 
In contrast, the Strong Towns approach to transportation focuses on bottom-up techniques for spending less and getting higher returns, all while improving quality of life for residents of a community. Fixing our broken transportation system will involve not just engineers, but local residents and officials who have become effective and empowered advocates, connected with others to make real change.

Adopting a reproducible workflow for your computational/quantitative research is a win-win-proposition:  You work more efficiently and avoid common pitfalls, and the systematic documentation you create enables other scholars to engage with and build upon your work. This webinar will sketch out the fundamental principles of conducting reproducible research, and present specifications for constructing documentation that is easily shareable and satisfies the policies for replication materials that are now commonly adopted by journals and funders.  The examples we use to illustrate reproducible practices will be implemented with R Markdown, but we will emphasize that the underlying principles can be applied to research conducted with any scriptable software package.

In this webinar, Dr. Mustafa Demir and Dr. Heather Lum will explore various topics focused on the training of Human-AI-Robot teams. Both Dr. Lum and Dr. Demir are faculty members at the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering and affiliates of the Center for Human, AI, Robot Teaming at Arizona State University. Over the years, their research has focused on issues such as team coordination, team effectiveness, and the use of games and virtual/mixed environments for training and educational purposes. In this webinar, they will provide an overview of their research while highlighting the broader themes, issues, and trends that their work addresses. After Drs. Demir and Lum have summarized their work, we will open the floor for a question and answer period.
