Artificial Intelligence

In this week’s episode, we provide you with the latest news in the Civil Engineering industry including covering how the researchers at Old Dominion University are working to develop a system that can — on its own, through artificial intelligence — detect spots that have flooded and send alerts to drivers notifying them of problems on their route. We also talk about how Olmsted County (Minnesota), Cenergy, and People’s Energy Cooperative has partnered to turn a contaminated site into new energy, and much more interesting stories.

Career Inspiration of the Week:

To become a better engineer, find a passion outside of engineering. Some people may like traveling, teaching, getting involved in a community, or coaching kids in sports. Whatever it may be, it will help you to become a more balanced individual and will help you to see the different sides of challenges rather than diving straight into numbers.

Quote of the Week:

“Teamwork is teamwork. It doesn’t matter if you’re bouncing a basketball or if you’re an Executive at a company. You need to engage your people to want to be part of a team and to want to excel in their careers.” ~ John M. Keller PE, PMP
