FORMER STUDENT SPOTLIGHTFormer Atlantic Cape engineering student Haseeb Bukhari graduated with his A.S. in 2016 and transferred to Rowan University. He credits his education at Atlantic Cape with preparing him for the rigors of the engineering program at Rowan, explaining: “In my experience at Rowan University, I have faced a great deal of work… [It] seems to be quite difficult to the extent that most people would give up, which is not me. Thanks to the great staff members of Atlantic Cape, I am well equipped to handle many problems, and to see them in a way that has truly helped me accomplish my goals…[Faculty] such as John Stratton, Laurie Lemons and others in the STEM program have helped me understand how to conquer great tasks.” During the spring of 2017, Haseeb frequently returned to Atlantic Cape to speak with current students in ENGR101, Introduction to Engineering, about his learning experiences at both Atlantic Cape and Rowan University.

PETER OUDEMANSDuring the spring 2017 semester, the Information Systems and Aviation Studies program welcomed this year’s Beacons by the Sea Visiting Professor, Dr. Peter Oudemans. Oudemans hails from the Department of Plant Biology and Pathology at Rutgers University and is stationed at the Marucci Blueberry and Cranberry Research and Extension Center where his research tackles problems in the biology and control of fungal diseases of blueberries and cranberries. His research uses such tools as remote sensing and geographic information system methodologies to detect, map, quantify and track plant pathogens. He taught two courses, AVIT185 (Special Topics in Information Technology – Applying Technology in Agriculture) and CISM185 (Remote Sensing Using Unmanned Aircraft Systems). In the special topics course, students learned the basics of scouting for and solving agricultural problems on commercial farms, and engaged in fieldwork with drones. The remote sensing course introduced students to using unmanned aerial systems to collect and analyze information about the earth’s surface.
