This virtual reality workshop was designed to deliver a primer on the sensor technologies that are impacting the aerospace, automotive, heavy equipment and marine autonomous technologies industries. Educators from these disciplines face many challenges from the rapid integration and prohibitive financial nature of these technologies. Jobs of the future will require a foundational level of knowledge of these sensors. Through hands-on experience and discussion, we cover industry trends and the future impact of advanced technology integration resulting from autonomous technologies. Attendees are prepared to use this technology in their classroom using portable, cost efficient experimentation and exercises.
