When Shakil Qureshi graduated from Tri-State University in 1973 he would never have
guessed that the skills he learned in his mechanical engineering classes, thinking
rationally and using logic to tackle a problem, would be serving him so well in 2020.
Qureshi is founder and CEO of Futron, Inc., a provider of IT/Telecommunications, Engineering
Professional Services, Internet of Things (IOT), and Design Build Construction solutions
to the US Government.
Futron provides consolidated voice, data and video capabilities over secure and encrypted architectures, which has made it possible for government employees to telecommute during the COVID-19 pandemic. The technology employed by Futron has never been more important as employers see the value of having systems in place that allow for the seamless transition to remote working.
Erich Barlow, adjunct faculty member for TrineOnline and program matter expert for the university’s Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence program, is quoted in a new InformationWeek article on data governance.
The Trine University Board of Trustees voted to add three distinguished university alumni to its membership at its January meeting.
A hero on the battlefield and the gridiron, Rocky Bleier said many people supported him on his journey and encouraged those at Trine University’s 21st annual Scholarship Gala to do the same for students.
