A recent Government Accountability Office (GAO) report found the federal investment in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education programs remained relatively stable from fiscal years 2010 to 2016, although the number of programs declined from 209 to 163. One potential outcome for this study is to assess whether programs are broadening access to groups historically underrepresented in STEM fields.

NSPS lobbyist John "JB" Byrd recently met with John Kingston (R), a challenger candidate for the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts in a seat held by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). The primary is set for September 4. In 2015, John finished his 16-year career at AMG, a public company valued at more than $10 billion that manages more than $700 billion in assets. He then turned his focus to establishing Sword & Spoon Group, a mix of non-profit and for-profit initiatives that focuses on strengthening all facets of civic life — in public policy, education, arts, and service.

Congress passed and President Trump signed the "Omnibus," or Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018, Public Law 115-141 last week, averting a government shutdown and funding Federal agencies through the end of fiscal year 2018 on September 30. NSPS has created a link for the geospatial highlights for the bill, including with several provisions relevant to the 3D Elevation Program (3DEP). Specifically, the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) was extended to July 31, 2018. In addition, there are new programs and funding for broadband infrastructure deployment and wildfire mapping.

The Open Geospatial Consortium is considering developing a Professional Certification program. The program would allow individuals to achieve certification that confirms their competency in specific OGC standards. The program would therefore focus primarily on OGC standards, thereby avoiding overlap with certification programs offered by OGC members and alliance partners.

Artificial Intelligence has become a buzzword that symbolizes the next stage of innovative technological transformations and how the industry in the future would be driven. Using intelligent algorithms, data classification and smart predictive analysis, AI has its utility in a large number of sectors.
A more specific subset of AI that combines the exactitude of GIS with the razor-sharp analysis and solution-based approach of AI is termed Geospatial AI, or simply Geo.AI.

Hardware and software modernization doesn't always yield immediate benefits for enterprises, and sometimes taking a particularly big leap or risk comes at a premium in time and labor. But sometimes everything goes smoothly.
Our July 2017 feature, "Behind the Big Eye," is on the development of a new type of surveying instrument, designed — not adapted — to add scanning, imaging, and other capabilities to a new, fully functioning total station (the Trimble SX10).
