Join the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) for the 2013 Annual Conference in Baltimore, Maryland, March 24 - 28, 2013. The conference theme: Confluence by the Bay - A Gathering of Geospatial Insights, refers to the "coming together" of researchers and practitioners for the purpose of open dialogue with respect to the most recent advances in geospatial analysis. The term "confluence" also has meaning in the assessment of the three earth's spheres (hydrologic, terrestrial, and atmospheric) via remote sensing; very apropos for our confernece location on the eastern seaboard of the United States.
Year 2013 promises to be an encouraging period due to the successful launch of the LDCM Earth observing satellite (January 2013). The first look imagery from Landsat 8 is anticipated to be presented at the conference.
SITE 2013 is the 24th annual conference of the Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education. This society represents individual teacher educators and affiliated organizations of teacher educators in all disciplines, who are interested in the creation and dissemination of knowledge about the use of information technology in teacher education and faculty/staff development. SITE is a society of the Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE).
SITE is unique as the only organization which has as its sole focus the integration of instructional technologies into teacher education programs. SITE promotes the development and dissemination of theoretical knowledge, conceptual research, and professional practice knowledge through conferences, books, projects, and the Journal of Technology and Teacher Education (JTATE).
This annual international forum offers numerous opportunities to share ideas, explore the research, development, and applications, and to network with the leaders in this important field of teacher education and technology.
Shipbuilding Repair and Maritime Career Day (SBRCD) 2013 is organized by the Lean Institute at ODU and the International Society of Agile Manufacturing (ISAM).

NSBE’s Annual Convention returns to the city of Indianapolis after much success at the 2001 Annual Convention, where more than 9,000 students, alumni, and professional members were in attendance and more than 300 companies participated in our career fair, competing for the best engineering talent in the black community.
The Annual Convention annually recognizes excellence among technical professionals, corporate, government, and academic leaders, as well as university and pre-college students. The convention highlights the possibilities that can be cultivated through support and responsibility. The proceeds of the convention are used to create college scholarships for gifted high school students.
The Automotive Manufacturing Technical Education Collaborative (AMTEC) has used the flipped classroom to teach current community college students and to re-train auto industry employees. This national program involves 30 community colleges and virtually every automobile manufacturer in the USA. SoftChalk was used to shift the “lecture” to digital lessons students complete on their own so that the time they spend with their instructors can be better spent solving real-world problems. AMTEC subject matter experts and instructional designers developed a hybrid online associate’s degree program in general mechatronic maintenance composed of 12 courses, sorted into 57 stand-alone modules, each aligned to validated industry skill standards.
In this presentation we will discuss how AMTEC, this unique collaboration of colleges and industry partners, developed hybrid online lectures and in person labs to contextualize instruction so that students are more engaged and gain valuable experience in maintaining and troubleshooting complex integrated manufacturing systems. Discussion will include how AMTEC’s use of SoftChalk has been integral in developing a mechatronics maintenance curriculum that drives cost down, better aligns to industry skill standards, and helps instructors to target instruction based on student needs. In addition, we will discuss AMTEC’s current work using SoftChalk Cloud to create fault-based scenarios to further improve student learning and better analyze student performance against critical skill standards.

The mission of the Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (CCDC) system is to provide institutions with an information assurance or computer security curriculum a controlled, competitive environment to assess their student's depth of understanding and operational competency in managing the challenges inherent in protecting a corporate network infrastructure and business information systems.
CCDC Events are designed to:
Build a meaningful mechanism by which institutions of higher education may evaluate their programs.
Provide an educational venue in which students are able to apply the theory and practical skills they have learned in their course work.
Foster a spirit of teamwork, ethical behavior, and effective communication both within and across teams.
Create interest and awareness among participating institutions and students.
This webinar describes approaches to prepare a program for review. In the process, participants will gain a deeper insight to what the program's success factors are and find the risks to program survival.

These workshops are designed for members the AEC community: architects, engineers, or other design professionals and students. For two days this April at facades+ PERFORMANCE, experts in the industry will analyze, discuss, and dispute the development, implementation, and maintenance of high-performance building enclosures.
Here’s a taste:
Performance is contextual. Like durability, it is not an inherent property of a material, product or system. The usage must be defined, performance evaluation criteria established, with metric and benchmark criteria determined. If the material, product, or system exceeds these benchmarks, they are qualified as high-performance. However, the definition of high performance facades itself is elusive, often incorporating trending keywords like “sustainable” and “technologically advanced” to describe practices that are arguably neither. The difficulty lies in pinpointing the most significant contributors to the performance of a façade, with contenders ranging from metrics (such as U-values) to physics (a double-skin façade cavity) to post-occupancy commissioning. There is no clear answer.
