Founder of TetraNoodle Technologies, Manuj Aggarwal has been listed among top AI experts who will be advising Miami Dade College – as they create the next generation of curriculum on cutting edge technologies like AI, cybersecurity, blockchain, and much more.
This listing comes in line with Miami Dade College’s new project to make artificial intelligence education available to all of its students after receiving $15 million from a quartet of public and nonprofit entities to beef up its technology curriculum.
According to the official report, the $15 million investment will be used to hire as many as 15 faculty members with technology backgrounds that can satisfy surging enrollment in MDC’s School of Engineering and Technology. MDC is also launching MDCTECH, a web portal designed to serve as the hub for its tech efforts.
