Workshop 2. Discovering Technological Solutions

This hands-on session requires minimal technical knowledge but is designed to inspire someone to look into this further as to the type of careers they could have in this area, from technician to PhD. By the end of the day– students should know the basics of the technology presented, hear from the leading experts in what is coming in the future, and further develop their ideas for how to turn this into a business and help the community! Students will receive a short lesson on how the supply chain ecosystem works, the problems that the supply chain is causing right now, and try out some of the solutions cutting edge researchers have developed to help solve these problems (autonomous driving, platooning, ecodriving, ecorouting, optimization of electrification).


Cohort 1: Low Cost Sensors- Students will learn to use air quality sensors (in groups of 3-4), and roam the CE-CERT campus to try to find hot spots of pollution, co locate monitors and see their agreements, and identify malfunctioning sensors.


Cohort 2: Sustainable Transportation Solutions - Students will receive a short lesson on how the supply chain ecosystem works, the problems that the supply chain is causing right now, and try out some of the solutions cutting edge researchers have developed to help solve these problems (autonomous driving, platooning, ecodriving, ecorouting, optimization of electrification).
