(https://njitcl.catalog.instructure.com/) Bootcamp Objective: This 2-day offshore wind training bootcamp is for students and professionals with engineering or physical science backgrounds who are interested in starting or upskilling their career in the offshore wind industry. Through intensive training, the bootcamp aims to cover the technical aspects of offshore wind farm development, including environmental impact assessments, energy generation, transmission, grid integration, energy storage systems, and more! This bootcamp training will issue a certificate of completion from the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and the opportunity to claim 14 Professional Development Hours (PDH) after successful completion of the online examination (multiple-choice questions) at the end of the bootcamp. Bootcamp Overview: Day 1: - Opening Keynote from NJ Economic Development Authority - Course 1: Offshore Wind Farm Overview - Course 2: Generation - Course 3: Offshore Transmission - Course 4: Onshore Transmission and Construction Day 2: - Opening Keynote from NJ Board of Public Utilities - Presentation on the Participation of Minority and Underrepresented Engineers in Wind Energy - Course 5: Community and Environmental Management - Course 6: Offshore Wind Farm Project Management - Course 7: Energy Storage System for Renewable - Course 8: Grid Interconnection and Integration - Take-Home Online Examination (Multiple-Choice Questions) Target Audience: There are no formal prerequisite courses, but participants are encouraged to have a foundational understanding of engineering or physical sciences, preferably at a college or advanced-placement level. The bootcamp aims to provide a short-term, rigorous, fast-paced, and focused fundamental training to help practicing engineers, researchers, and graduates to be well-prepared for the new field of offshore wind energy.

Why an equity lens is critical in the design and deployment of AI In 2023, the Center for Technology Innovation (CTI) at Brookings launched the AI Equity Lab, an interdisciplinary, cross-sector research and policy project aimed at finding solutions that lead to more inclusive artificial intelligence. Since its inception, the AI Equity Lab has engaged more than 60 distinguished experts who understand the intersection between AI and society to collaboratively assess and determine the opportunities and risks AI presents in critical areas, including education, health care, journalism, and criminal justice. On December 9, join the Center for Technology Innovation at Brookings for an event with CTI Director and AI Equity Lab co-chair Nicol Turner Lee, who will provide an update on the work of the Lab and moderate a panel of experts who will share more about their findings and discuss why the framing of equity in human-centered AI is critical to advancing more democratized and ethical models. https://www.brookings.edu/events/why-an-equity-lens-is-critical-in-the-design-and-deployment-of-ai/ Please register here and at this meeting site.
