Abstract:This report presents the results of a three-year, intensive recruiting and mentoring program in
the University of Oklahoma’s (OU) College of Engineering (CoE). Highly qualified and diverse
graduate students were sought to pursue degrees in transportation related engineering fields,
spanning the disciplines of Civil Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer
Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. The purpose of the project
was to explore innovative ways in which to recruit, educate, retain and mentor the next
generation of transportation engineers to fill both Oklahoma’s and the United State’s critical
need for qualified engineers to help our aging infrastructure. The graduate students recruited
to these programs became Oklahoma Transportation Center (OkTC) Fellows, gaining
significant experience in transportation research and industry. All OkTC Fellows were gainfully
employed in the transportation industry after graduation or currently pursuing advanced
degrees.
