The Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) has hosted conferences focused on marine autonomy for more than a decade, next year the reach will be extended to the SUT-US Branch. The goal of the conference is to bring together energy industry executives and engineers, with marine technologists, government stakeholders, and research scientists, to provide a 2-day update on the history, status, uses and future of autonomous systems, sensors and AI, in the offshore environment. The conference program will close with a panel discussion focused on future advances that are likely to be of value to the offshore energy industry. Together with the conference, there will be a small exhibition space to allow organizations active in this sphere to further expand on the conference program, and provide opportunities for attendees to gain a greater understanding of how autonomous systems can be used in specific applications.

Space Ag Conference is a half-day conference exploring advanced agriculture technologies to elevate the future of the AgTech industry in space. This conference will be in-person but will have a virtual option available. Our world food production system is undergoing a dramatic shift towards sustainable food practices and increased food security. Space agriculture, and the technology it creates, could catalyze the development of high-yield crop production that requires less land and less energy, providing farmers with the ability to create more with less. At Space Ag Conference, the team is going to discuss what it will take to accelerate innovation and move forward with the AgTech industry. And often, solving for challenges in Space can help solve challenges on earth.
Join to learn about a free new tool that can teach students how to build an energy model and analyze impacts of energy efficiency technologies in buildings.
Sketchbox is a cloud-based modeling tool that enables simplified energy analysis of new construction and renovations. The platform, which is based on the U.S. Department of Energy’s DOE-2 software, is suitable for all levels of technical expertise, providing a user-friendly introduction to whole-building energy modeling.
Slipstream, a mission-driven nonprofit organization, headquartered in Madison, WI, recently launched the tool and is in the process of developing lessons for high schools and colleges, and would like to share the tool with CREATE. Please join us for an interactive demo of the tool and for the opportunity to provide feedback. You’ll also be offered access to Sketchbox at no cost. Jenny Brinker, energy management instructor, at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College will also join to share how she will be integrating the tool in her class this spring.

The Cybersecurity Skills Journal is seeking ideas and drafts for Articles, Notes and Dialogues that impact cybersecurity practice, improve learning, and advance the state of the cybersecurity workforce’s capability maturity and which arise from recent funded research. Abstracts may address any aspect of research into cybersecurity but must align with the Journal’s mission: emphasis should be placed on enhancing the capabilities of the cybersecurity practitioner, educator, or researcher, not on technology.
The goal of the Proposal Development Workshop is to assist authors in thinking through the definition of the problem, the research question(s), and the contribution in preparation for submission of an abstract in response to the Call for Abstracts.
On April 20, 2022, the GeoTECH Center will be hosting a range of presentations from 11:00 AM - 4:45 PM ET.

Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS or Drones) are a staple in the toolkit of any videographer, and with good reason; they are used not only to create beautiful video from new (and previously unachievable angles), but to collect data that can be used for other production content. Cost effective, reduced risk, and often able to access in places that are generally inaccessible, this is not surprising that video professionals are rapidly adding sUAS to their production kit.
This field trip is designed for those either evaluating sUAS or who have recently acquired an sUAS for production use. Attendees will be able to fly with top instructors who are there not just to share best practices; they’re also prepared to address any questions or concerns ranging from standard practices, maintenance, or regulatory changes. This is a hands-on training course.
There are 103 Historically Black College and Universities (HBCUs) in the United Stated. HBCU’s have existed for for over 200 years and deliver over 27% of the STEM graduates while educating only 10% of the African Americans in higher education in the US. This is an exciting opportunity to leverage the expertise, innovation, entrepreneurialism and manpower/woman power of this critical American heritage to be part of the solution for semi-conductor re-birth in the US. Other countries are positioned to far exceed the US in moving to the next level. How does the US win in this race? Use all the best talent available.
Presenter: Valinda Scarbro Kennedy, IBM Global University Specialty Programs Manager. Valinda and her team work with higher education leadership worldwide in Medical Institutions and Historically Black College and Universities (HBCUs) providing access to industry resources to bridge the gap between academic programs and high demand career skills. The team works with medical/nursing/life sciences/pharmaceutical institutions and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU’s) to provide faculty and students industry experiences using IBM’s academic program for no-charge access to resources. The goal is to build critical skills with artificial intelligence, quantum computing, internet-of-things, data science, design thinking, cyber security, blockchain and other hot technology areas through engagement with academic, government and industry leaders to augment education to include the accelerated use of advanced technology into most disciplines.
