Light detection and ranging technology, also known as LiDAR, underpins advanced remote sensing systems used to detect, identify, and create a precise 3D virtual image of an object. The automotive industry has driven much of the current interest in LiDAR. Many modern safety features found in cars and trucks rely on LiDAR. Autonomous vehicles use LiDAR to identify and avoid obstructions, other vehicles, and people. In addition, LiDAR is now being used in a wide range of other applications such as mapping, infrastructure inspection, utilities, and architecture, resulting in a growing demand for technicians skilled in LiDAR technology. This project will address the demand for skilled LiDAR technicians by creating a certificate program that will allow students in various majors and fields to become proficient in the use of LiDAR technology. Students will learn how LiDAR can be applied to their industry of interest, resulting in an increase in the number and variety of students prepared for employment as LiDAR technicians.This project will focus on the use of LiDAR use in a wide range of areas, such as three-dimensional (3D) structure scanning, precision roof and building inspection, and site analysis for development, to include realistic 3D scans of buildings for virtual walkthroughs, accurate measurements, virtual inspections of structural integrity, and many other applications. There are three overarching goals of the project. First is to create two LiDAR courses that address the emerging need for skilled technicians. Second is to create a certificate program to address the use of LiDAR in architecture. Third, and finally, is to recruit and retain a diverse population of successful students who represent the surrounding community with an emphasis on marginalized populations. This project will serve as a model for other academic institutions interested in developing a comprehensive program aimed to help address the shortage of well-qualified and skilled LiDAR technicians. This project is funded by the Advanced Technological Education program that focuses on the education of technicians for the advanced technology fields that drive the nation's economy.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

光检测和范围技术（也称为LIDAR）是用于检测，识别和创建对象的精确的3D虚拟图像的先进遥感系统。汽车行业引起了目前对激光雷达的大部分兴趣。汽车和卡车中发现的许多现代安全功能都取决于LiDAR。自动驾驶汽车使用LIDAR来识别并避免障碍物，其他车辆和人员。此外，LIDAR现在正在用于广泛的其他应用中，例如映射，基础架构检查，公用事业和建筑，导致对熟练雷达技术技术人员的需求不断增长。该项目将通过创建一个证书计划来解决对熟练的激光雷达技术人员的需求，该计划将使各个专业和领域的学生能够精通LiDAR技术的使用。 Students will learn how LiDAR can be applied to their industry of interest, resulting in an increase in the number and variety of students prepared for employment as LiDAR technicians.This project will focus on the use of LiDAR use in a wide range of areas, such as three-dimensional (3D) structure scanning, precision roof and building inspection, and site analysis for development, to include realistic 3D scans of buildings for virtual walkthroughs, accurate measurements, virtual检查结构完整性以及许多其他应用。该项目的总体目标有三个。首先是创建两个激光措施课程，以满足对熟练技术人员的新兴需求。其次是创建一个证书程序来解决LIDAR在体系结构中的使用。第三，最后是招募和保留各种各样的成功学生，这些学生代表周围社区，重点是边缘化人群。该项目将成为有兴趣开发一项旨在帮助解决资格良好和熟练的LiDAR技术人员的综合计划的其他学术机构的典范。该项目由先进的技术教育计划资助，该计划的重点是推动国家经济的高级技术领域的技术人员的教育。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准的评估来通过评估来支持的。
