Abstract
How can sociotechnical innovation best serve human needs? Though good intentioned, a benefit to one community may unintentionally harm another. Sound engineering balances tradeoffs and optimizes benefits. Diverse responses to efforts to promote adoption of battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) in the United States reflect wide differences in political and social values. The BEV field provides an example of how a groundbreaking technology can disproportionately impact the public. Technical report details Aerospace engineers at the University of Virginia, advised by Prof. Christopher Goyne, contributing to the development of a Hypersonic ReEntry Deployable Glider Experiment (HEDGE).
