In this session, discussion is made on the interdisciplinary development of science, engineering and navigation. Modern transportation relies heavily on the engineering from building seaworthy ships, autonomous vehicles, and space vehicles. At the same time navigating these vehicles requires an equally well managed network driven by data.
