Abstract:The Center for Transportation Training and Research (CTTR), as part of Texas Southern University
(TSU), served as host for the 2013 Transportation Security Institute (TSI) in Houston and
surrounding area. The 2013 Houston TSI focuses on the mission and objectives of transportation
security professionals and introduces a pre-selected group of high school students to the various
career opportunities within the profession.
TSI provides a curriculum framework that exposes high school students to the transportation
security industry via hands-on technical activities, field trips to transportation facilities, lectures by
transportation professionals, and on-site seminars. Furthermore, the primary goal of TSI is to
introduce exemplary secondary school students to various career opportunities in transportation
security. Secondly, industry professionals will reinforce the importance of mathematics, science,
and technology skills in the twenty-first century. Lastly, students will observe how public/private
partnerships work to strengthen the link between today’s students and future transportation security
professionals.
