SCHEDULE A MEETING

The clear highlight of the event for Microdrones was the Microdrones-sponsored ASPRS workshop on Thursday, Feb 8th, titled “ASPRS UAS LiDAR Workshop – Unmanned Airborne LiDAR for Precision Mapping.” Microdrones’ very own Dr. Mohamed Mostafa, Director of mdSolutions was the presenter.

Reviews following this workshop were extremely positive. One attendee said, “This was the best workshop in the entire event;” while another attendee added, “Dr. Mostafa’s presentation was amazing. He managed to cover eight years of my professional geospatial schooling in one concise four-hour course.”

Microdrones also presented a special afternoon workshop demonstrating how the new mdLiDAR1000 system offers customers a fully integrated system. The steps in the system are easy to understand: PLAN. FLY. PROCESS. VISUALIZE. The team used data collected from a special demo conducted in cooperation with Microdrones dealer, Frontier Precision, earlier that week at a nearby golf course undergoing renovation to show the results achievable with this system.

Check out the video from that demo to see how the mdLiDAR1000 system performs in action.

AI Readiness in Education

AI Readiness in Education

AI adoption in education requires students to develop practical problem-solving skills and readiness to use AI effectively in their careers. Dr. Ngoc Cindy Pham at CUNY Brooklyn College redesigns curricula to emphasize AI literacy through experiential learning and industry partnerships that align academic training with real-world employer needs.

  • 01Students must defend their AI-assisted decisions through reasoning, not just rely on AI outputs, to ensure understanding of marketing concepts in practice.
  • 02Educational institutions should partner with employers as co-creators of curriculum rather than designing courses on theory alone, ensuring skills meet actual workplace demands.
  • 03AI literacy and readiness are becoming central to higher education frameworks, requiring continuous collaboration between educators and industry to adapt to evolving technologies.

The First Year Experience: A Panel Discussion

The First Year Experience: A Panel Discussion

A panel discussion on the "Signals and Higher Ed" podcast explored how universities enhance the first-year experience for student success. Experts from Arizona State University, University of Utah, and Podium Education emphasized the importance of integrating work and learning, balancing exploration with guided discovery, and preparing students for post-graduation career outcomes from day one.

  • 01Universities should expose students to work-integrated learning and career preparation in the first year, not defer professional development to later semesters
  • 02Structured exploration programs like ASU's Explore and University of Utah's Quest help students discover interests without overwhelming pressure to commit to a major immediately
  • 03Institutions must redesign educational processes to reduce unnecessary major changes and excess credit accumulation, enabling timely graduation and better career readiness
