• Abstract:
  The residential STI program was held at Lincoln University during July 9 - August 3, 2001. Twenty students (nine 8th graders, 9th graders, and four 10th graders) participated in the program. One student was advised to withdrawal after two weeks. The students were selected from nine schools located in five cities and four counties. Three of the schools are in Pennsylvania and the other school is located in Delaware. The responses to the evaluation questionnaires and the feedback from students and parents/guardians suggest that the 2001 STI program is moving along the path of achieving the objectives to: (a) encourage students to choose future transportation-related careers, and (b) create opportunities for students to have an educationally beneficial and enjoyable summer.
