Abstract:Workforce development activities aim to attract new entrants into the transportation field and improve the skills of the existing workforce to effectively address today’s transportation system challenges. The University of Florida Transportation Institute (UFTI) participated in four planned K-12 outreach activities for Southeastern Transportation Research, Innovation, Development and Education Center (STRIDE), as well as several other activities as outlined: (1) LEGO® Robot Vehicle Lesson Plans for Secondary Education: UFTI used the “Introduction to Transportation” curriculum developed at UF for students at a Girl Scout summer camp. A second set of updated robots was purchased and a new limited curriculum was developed for fourth and fifth graders, which includes building of the robot which serves the intelligent vehicles of the future curriculum. In all robotic workshops, students learned various fundamentals of Transportation Engineering and how the use of advanced technology is integral to solving current and future transportation problems.
