A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:
Bentley must track and report faculty research as part of the EQUIS accreditation process. The 2015 EQUIS accreditation team created a comprehensive list of faculty conducting sustainability research through a thorough review of faculty CVs. We have used that research to create our current list.
In addition, the Office of Sustainability sent out targeted emails to faculty to find out if their research contained sustainability content.
A brief description of notable accomplishments during the previous three years by faculty and/or staff engaged in sustainability research:
Sandeep Purao, Trustee Professor of Information and Process Management, was awarded an NSF grant under the EAGER (Early Concept Grants for Exploratory Research) funding mechanism which funds potentially transformative research. The project, entitled “Values and Value for Designing Smart Community Solutions” involves the City of Waltham. The proposed work involves a study of how Values (ethical principles) and Value (economic utility) influence the design of smart city solutions. The problem statement directly confronts a fallacy: that smart city solutions to improve convenience and efficiency (e.g. parking apps or traffic optimization) will contribute to broad social outcomes in domains such as health and education, and lead to resilient, healthy and smart cities. Instead of framing the problem as a duality, I seek to investigate the interplay, framing it as a Value-Values continuum. If successful, the results can directly benefit the massive investment of public funds in planned smart city initiatives (Whitehouse 2015).
