Summarize Objective: This assignment offers us the opportunity to review the final project in detail in order to research, discuss, and document solutions to problems we deem interesting and complex. Throughout the activity, we will understand the importance of computer applications in the engineering discipline. We must develop the ability to function effectively on a team whose members create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and objectives. This presentation is a way to express the work you create that resonates with you, as well as the audience. a) Names of team members 1. Carlos Moreno 2. Daniel Llanez 3. William Utleg b) Potential topics Carlos Moreno - Analyzing Data for Common Childhood Illnesses Daniel Llanez - Analyzing Data for Traffic Pattern Analysis for City Planning/ Infrastructure William Utleg - Data Analysis on human behavior through evolving technology.

c) Problem statement Carlos Moreno - Children through their childhood develop so many illnesses. Whether it's a small flue, sore throat, or influence. Although most of this sickness is very common in children and in adults, children have it more difficult. There are so many factors that can cause children to get sick easily. They can have an undeveloped immune system and not have the right nutrients. Have higher exposure to germs outside of home. The problems proposed with this topic are multiple as there are many ways for children to encounter sickness. Though the main reasons for a child’s sickness is being exposed to germs or more viruses. Daniel Llanez - While there is plenty of data available in the public transportation sector, it can all be utilized and assessed to help with the flow of traffic and minimize travel times. Problems with transportation in the United States arise from congestion and improper infrastructure maintenance. In cities such as Los Angeles, travel times can skyrocket to an hour or more when traversing even small distances. Furthermore, more time spent commuting and waiting through traffic adds to an already serious climate crisis. Air pollution from cities can be namely be attributed to vehicle emissions. Databases have no shortage of information on pollution and emissions. We can also use data available from transportation agencies and traffic monitoring organizations to identify when peak traffic hours occur, and analyze trends to better understand when congestion is the highest for these affected areas. William Utleg - Human interaction is influenced through socialization. Through the internet, online interaction stretches far and wide and is not limited to the influence of humans, but the technology it influences. The importance of understanding how technology influences interactions between people through transportation, how we manipulate social interactions, and the use of artificial intelligence, will determine how our future depends on technology or helps assist our work.

I believe that although technology is vital in our daily lives, we have become too lazy in our own work and reliant on the use of technology. In this day and age, technology is evolving faster than humans need it, making humans less important as workers and contributors in society. Technology was meant to help aid the main focus of work that is dictated by humans and not the other way around. d) Critical thinking Carlos Moreno - What are some of the most common illnesses and how does it compare the most deadly ones? What are some viruses that cause illnesses? What are the precautions and for these illnesses? Daniel Llanez - What are some data analysis techniques to not only monitor traffic flow, but to also predict peak congestion? What sort of methods are available to engineers to reevaluate traffic flow? What are some known health implications on an increased commute time due to traffic? Air quality, environmental sustainability, etc? William Utleg - How does technology affect our everyday lives?

What impacts does technology have on human behavior? How will reliance on technology affect human interaction and behavior? e) Reflection Carlos Moreno - If I have to do this project research with my teammates one possible contribution for me is to compare data from different sources. When answering the first question of our research topic I can compare what illnesses are the most common compared to other illnesses that are much more deadly. Not deadly but an illness that can cause secondary symptoms. Another possible contribution for this topic is finding a possible solution and precautions for the topic about childhood illnesses. Moreovelly illnesses have happened all through history and as the world keeps involving these illnesses have become less deadly due to all the discovery of antibiotics and medication. Daniel Llanez - In the United States, the most common method of traveling is to commute by car. US cities have based their infrastructure and city planning to accommodate large volumes of vehicles. The problems that arise from this approach to transportation are, namely, congestion, improper maintenance of roads/infrastructure, and contributions to the climate crisis. Public agencies such as the Department of Transportation provide data to supplement and aid engineers and city planners in their efforts to improve traffic conditions. Further topics to explore for traffic management include techniques to analyzing data to model and predict traffic flow.

William Utleg - This topic addresses the potential of evolving technology and the drawbacks of our reliance on it. Although technology is vital in our everyday lives, it takes away from interactions as well as experience we need in order to evolve as well. There is a common misconception that technology will take over the world and it will not be the end of the world; however the influence will be more subtle than we think. Our reliance on technology will only increase throughout the year and other appliances of artificial intelligence will make our net growth as humans lower than technology in areas of our lives that will be utilized daily, such as transportation, work, and communication. \ References Carlos Moreno - Qlin, Yu. “Progress on Children’s Well-Being: Centring Child Rights in the 2030 Agenda.” UNICEF DATA , 17 Sept. 2023, data.unicef.org/resources/sdg-report-2023/.
