Indian River State College3209 Virginia AveFort PierceFlorida34981

Discover the world of computer coding using an Arduino microcontroller. Create code to interact with electronic circuits and more at this weekly beginner's boot camp, every Wednesday from 5:30-7:30 at the Brown Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Y-208.

This two-hour webinar introduces the new Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity course sponsored, published, and made available to instructors for their free use by CyberWatch West. 

Community College instructors will learn from presenters Stephen Miller (Eastern New Mexico University - Ruidoso), Margaret Leary (Northern Virginia Community College), and Christie Jones (George Mason University) how to adapt the eleven-lesson course for their institutions.

This webinar starts with the premise that we, at community colleges, seem to know almost nothing about our graduates as they leave us. At least that is the case at our college district. And yet we are being increasingly pressed to know how our students fare. I have heard program heads say “all of our students get employed.” But with very few exceptions we have no direct knowledge. o We will discuss approaches that include creating an agreement with your state’s department of economic security to get wage data (not particularly easy), sending out a survey by email to graduates (anticipate a low response rate) and setting up a call center. In the latter we saw a 56% response rate and got some valuable information. See how this might work for you and at what cost.

This hybrid course features several online modules focusing on air filtrations, compressors, lubrication, regulation, piping, directional control valves and actuators. After the modules are complete, a full day of training will be provided at SUNY Poly’s Albany site where students will use simulation software to design, verify and observe the functioning of numerous pneumatic circuits; these designs will then be assembled and tested.

New design of automotive construction materials has become of paramount importance to not only reduce the carbon footprint of their final products but also to increase efficiency and decrease cost of vehicles. The use of new advanced materials in vehicles will significantly increase fuel efficiency and cut emissions, but the auto industry lacks data and material models needed to reliably manufacture vehicle components from various substitutes, including aluminum alloys, high-strength steels and polymer composites.

Coalition meetings convene scientists, engineers, and health professionals with human rights leaders and policy makers to discuss emerging issues at the nexus of science and human rights. The Coalition serves as a catalyst for the increased involvement of scientific, engineering, and health associations and their members in human rights-related activities. 

The New York Geographic Alliance and our B-WET team are pleased to announce that we are joining together with the Rockwell Museum in Corning, NY to a great workshop to the Southern Tier. It's the "Mapping the Susquehanna Workshop" and it will be held at the Rockwell Museum on January 26, 2017. 

The details are still being worked out, but this PD is available to all educators in the region for no cost to you! It will feature mapping activities and other watershed demonstrations. The docents will take you on a tour of the museum's galleries, and, weather permitting, we will walk a couple blocks to the Chemung River, which is so important to economy and history of this city. 

This webinar will introduce the Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity course, develop by George Mason University’s Center for Infrastructure Protection and Homeland Security with funding from CyberWatch West, for use by community colleges across the country.

The course focuses on basic security concepts as they apply to critical infrastructure systems. Concepts addressed in the course include Industrial Control Systems (ICS), such as Supervisory and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, Process Control Systems (PCS), and Distributed Control Systems (DCS), national standards for the protection of critical infrastructure, and risk management concepts and tools for critical infrastructure systems.

Land classification is an important first step to assessing land cover and land use. This advanced webinar will provide lectures and hands-on activities focused on using satellite imagery for land cover classification. In two, four hour sessions, attendees will learn how to acquire Landsat imagery, display it in an open-source Geographic Information System (GIS), analyze spectral signatures of land cover types, and conduct a supervised land cover classification. Both sessions will feature a lecture, followed by time for participants to complete hands-on exercises. Instructors will remain online to answer questions and provide guidance and feedback. In addition to the exercises, there will be one online homework assignment. Completion of the homework and live attendance at both lectures are required to receive a certificate of completion.

Many of the most successful ATE centers have expanded their impact through developing strong partnerships, with industry and with other academic institutions. These partnerships are grounded in a deep and evolving understanding of the needs of each of these key stakeholder groups.  Kevin Cooper, PI of Regional Center for Nuclear Education and Training (RCNET), and Dean, Advanced Technology at Indian River State College has experienced this first-hand, growing the RCNET center to 46 academic partners and 32 industry partners. He will share with us both his philosophy of what makes a good partnership, and the “down and dirty” tactics needed to make these partnerships work.
