About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm excited to be talking with an expert in the field of autonomous vehicle housing design. Can you tell us a bit about this graduate certificate course and what inspired you to create it? GUEST: Of course, the Graduate Certificate in Autonomous Vehicle Housing Design is a program that prepares professionals for the future of urban living. It's designed to help architects, urban planners, and engineers develop expertise in AV integration, charging infrastructure, and space optimization. I was inspired by the rapid evolution of autonomous vehicle technology and the need for professionals who can design smart homes and infrastructure optimized for AVs. HOST: That sounds fascinating! Can you share any current industry trends that are relevant to this course? GUEST: Absolutely, sustainability is a major trend in the industry right now. We're seeing a growing demand for sustainable design principles for AV-ready communities. This includes everything from using renewable energy sources to designing efficient charging infrastructure. HOST: What a time to be in this field! I can imagine there must be some challenges when it comes to integrating AVs into housing design. Can you share any of those challenges and how the course addresses them? GUEST: Sure, one of the biggest challenges is space optimization. AVs require specific infrastructure, such as charging stations, which can take up a lot of space. The course addresses this challenge by teaching students how to design smart homes and infrastructure that can accommodate AVs while also maximizing space efficiency. HOST: That's really interesting. Finally, can you share your thoughts on the future of this area or industry? GUEST: Absolutely, I believe that autonomous vehicles will play a major role in the future of urban living. As more cities adopt AVs, there will be a growing need for professionals who can design smart homes and infrastructure that are optimized for AVs. This graduate certificate course is designed to help meet that need and prepare students for the future of housing design.
