Data in Engineering
Connections:
As you explore the use of data in the engineering experience, you might be wondering, What is so relevant about data? According to data-literacy expert Jordan Morrow, the definition of data literacy is "the ability to read, work with, analyze, and argue with data." Data impacts every part of our lives, from the household to the office. Students are growing up in a world where they must interact with data on a regular basis to make informed decisions.
Objective(s):
- Develop an understanding of the role data plays in engineering experiences.
- Participate in an experience to understand data.
- Brainstorm and determine ways to apply data collection and analysis in their bite-sized engineering experience.
