Lone Star College-University Park presents fourth AI Symposium

HOUSTON, TX -- Lone Star College-University Park hosts its fourth AI Symposium on Thursday, Nov. 12, 2026, at the Energy & Manufacturing Institute (EMI) on campus, 11521 Compaq Center Dr., Houston, TX 77070. The two-hour event will explore the integration of artificial intelligence methods, tools and concepts across different fields of study and industry sectors.

Led by LSC-University Park faculty members, the symposium invites students, faculty and the community to enlighten their minds on AI and discuss its’ possible uses within different career paths.

“Artificial intelligence is transforming the work force, and workforce education must do more than respond. We developed the AI Symposium to bridge education, industry and community engagement,” said Andrew Johnson III, Ph.D. dean of Workforce Instruction Computer & Engineering Technologies. “The symposium demonstrates that AI extends far beyond generative applications into manufacturing, automation, robotics, data analytics and other evolving industries.”

The symposium will include the topic over “AI Across Disciplines,” welcome keynotes speakers, Tim Mousel and Dr. Johnson, a student AI project showcase and presentations, and an AI in Action Practical Skills Showcase by Richard Curry, Rhonique Jefferson and Adam Key, Ph. D. Breakout session will also be included from Mohammed Ashour, Ph. D. Monica Kamion, and Professor Alan Gandy, where the audience can gain a more in-depth understanding over AI.

Lone Star College-University Park continues to develop the bridge between education, industry and community engagement through events like the AI Symposium while preparing students for future evolving industries.
