Abstract:Each year since 2007, the Mississippi State University Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering has hosted a National Summer Transportation Institute (NSTI). During 2017, this was one of three NSTI programs in the state of Mississippi. The 2016 Mississippi State Summer Transportation Institute (MSTI) was a two-week residence program for rising ninth and tenth grade high school students. With funding from the National Center for Intermodal Transportation for Economic Competitiveness (NCITEC), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT), 25 students from all reaches of the state were supported to participate in the program. The grant from NCITEC allowed enrollment to increase by 25 percent because the FHWA and MDOT funding covered all the fixed costs. Hence, these funds principally supported food and lodging for the additional students.
