We recently had the privilege of conducting a Faculty Development Training (FDP) at Parul University, aimed at bridging the gap between traditional teaching methods and the rapidly evolving landscape of aerial surveying, GIS, and AI-powered civil engineering solutions.
๐ Key Focus Areas:
Introduction to Aerial Intelligence โ Understanding how drones and smart payloads are revolutionizing topographic surveys, infrastructure monitoring, and construction planning.
AI Integration in Surveying โ Showcasing real-world applications of AI for crack detection, volumetric analysis, and 3D reconstruction using NeRF (Neural Radiance Fields).
Hands-on Demonstration โ Live demos and post-processing workflows gave faculty members a direct experience of how modern tools can enrich both research and teaching.
The session was not just about tools and technologyโit was about equipping educators to guide the next generation of engineers with real-world, field-tested knowledge.
We extend our thanks to the Department of Civil Engineering, Parul University for hosting us and fostering such a forward-thinking learning environment. The curiosity and participation from the faculty reaffirmed our belief: when educators are empowered, the ripple effect reaches generations of learners.
