Episode 2.6: The Fibonacci Sequence

In this month’s “What’s a Woolpert?” podcast, Interior Design Program Director Kristi Barker examines the Fibonacci sequence and its relationship to everything from architecture to sunflowers to human DNA. The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two that precede it. “It is often called ‘God’s fingerprint,’ because there is something particular about this sequence of numbers,” said Kristi, noting that this growth pattern has innate strength. "There is just something inherently pleasing architecturally about that balance.”

Episode 2.5: UAS Update

Ethan Schreuder, Woolpert’s UAS team lead for US-based drone operations, discusses some of the latest developments in the uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) industry—including what the FAA’s recently passed Reauthorization Act of 2024 means for drone operations across the country. Due to the fast-paced nature of the industry, this podcast was recorded in a few installments over the last few weeks. As with any snapshot in time, there are further updates to report… like Woolpert Aviation Research Analyst Adam Ackermann’s perspectives on the potential framework for a Part 108 beyond visual line-of-sight rule, or the blanket waiver recently issued (with some restrictions) for the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise with the AVSS Arresting System by the FAA. Regardless, this chat with Ethan (as with all chats with Ethan) shares invaluable background and scope on the evolving world of UAS. He also notes, for the record, he is not a lawyer and that Woolpert uses drones from a variety of manufacturers. 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:03:03 - Advances in Technology 00:04:52 - FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 00:14:24 - Remote ID00:18:06 - Operations Over People 00:21:48 - Every Project is Unique 00:25:19 - Tools in the Toolbox 00:28:49 - Training 00:31:47 - The Future of Drone Technology 00:33:59 - Alternative Career Choice

Summer Interns

Our "What’s a Woolpert?" podcast for July provides a platform for a handful of our summer interns across industries to share what they expected of their intern experience, how it really went, and how their experience with Woolpert has helped shaped their career paths. “Early on, I was given some advice from one of the leadership here and basically they told me if you’re working for somebody and you couldn’t see yourself being that boss, then you’re not at the right place,” Architectural Design Intern Christopher Garcia said. “And something I can happily say is that I can see myself being that type of boss. The people here and the leadership here are not only exceptional, but they really care about the culture and do their best to make sure it grows.”

Culture Board

Don’t know about you all, but for many of us, 2024 took off like a shot. We’re kicking off this year’s podcasts today by having a quick chat with members of our 2024 Culture Board. Nominated by staff throughout the company and selected by leadership for their representation of Woolpert's six core values, the members of the Culture Board work together to ensure Woolpert is an employer of choice. This year’s team spans three continents and includes many individuals who came to Woolpert through acquisitions. They include Industry-Leading Megan Blaskovich, Progressive Daniel Kruimel, Supportive Christelle Ferreira, Focused Todd Ford, Balanced Jorge Torres, and High-Performing Zach Shuman. As Zach shared, “I think what we have planned for the year will make a pretty lasting impact at a crucial time in Woolpert’s culture.”
