A Bilingual (English/Spanish) comic book explaining the 8-steps to the Research Process. Audio version forthcoming.

An introduction to managing, annotating, organizing, archiving, and publishing research data using the Open Science Framework.

These chapters present a series of short readings with discussion questions and exercises related to basic research skills.  Topics relate to the whole research process from identifying a topic through presenting one’s own work and address both library research as well as searching for and evaluating sources on the open web.

This work was originally created to serve the needs of IS1111 Tackling a Wicked Problem taught at Plymouth State University.  You can see these chapters in the context of the other course readings at wicked-problem.press.plymouth.edu.  This version has been revised to remove references to institution-specific resources and programs in the hopes that these chapters may be useful in other contexts.

While the title, Researching Wicked Problems, implies a narrow applicability, this content addresses basic information literacy skills useful in a variety of contexts at a level appropriate for first year college students.

Responsible business practices are widely recognized as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). In this course we aim to extend these practices to the Research and Development (R&D) and innovation processes of companies. This is called Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI).

RRI enables companies to anticipate social and ethical issues and integrate them into the innovation and design processes and business strategy right from the start.

This course demonstrates how RRI, as a key element of CSR, can help firms to be innovative, more profitable and at the same time have positive societal and environmental impact.

In this course we analyze the relevance of RRI, including drivers and barriers, for firms of different sizes and in different sectors, and the implications for corporate governance. We show the results and lessons learned from eight pilot studies in innovative businesses across Europe working in different areas (such as nanotechnology, data and automotive) when they integrated RRI in their innovation process and business strategy.

This textbook is based on the MOOC Responsible Innovation offered by the TU Delft. It provides a framework to reflect on the ethics and risks of new technologies. How can we make sure that innovations do justice to social and ethical values? How can we minimize (unknown)risks?
The book explains:
•The concept and importance of responsible innovation for society
•Key ethical concepts and considerations to analyse the risks of new technologies
•Different types of innovation (e.g. radical, niche, incremental, frugal)
•Roadmap for Responsible Innovation by Industry
•The concept of Value Sensitive Design (VSD)
It includes a link to all the web lectures as well as case studies ranging from care robots and nuclear energy to Artificial Intelligence and self-driving vehicles.

You’ll learn about today’s urban challenges focusing on developing countries, referred to as the global south. We will debate the benefits of three pathways, going beyond traditional urban strategies and policies:

1. Spatial justice

Spatial justice is undoubtedly one of the greatest challenges of urban contexts in emerging economies.

2. Housing Provision and Management

Increasing demand in the global south calls for alternative approaches in housing provision and management.

3. Urban Resilience

Understanding resilience not as a mere struggle for survival, but as an opportunity to build better urban environments.

We will discuss question such as:

Is the just city framework applicable in cities with extreme socio-economic inequality?
Can community-led housing initiatives provide effective solutions for households in need?
How can resilience support development instead of perpetuating a disadvantaged condition?

Risk analysis, assessment, and management is essential to any engineering field. This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of how to perform a comprehensive risk assessment applicable to a wide variety of engineering problems. The course will focus on failure mode and effect analysis, fault tree analysis, probabilistic risk analysis, and human reliability analysis. The course will also cover fundamental probability and statistics content.

This course provides the knowledge needed to effectively use Statistical Process Control (SPC). The relationship to quality costs, on-time delivery, concepts of variation, and an analysis of the organization-specific SPC applications will be introduced.
