Abstract:

Louisiana Transportation Research Center (LTRC) undertook an important outreach program by acquiring several TRAC (Transportation and Civil Engineering) & RIDES (Roadways Into Developing Elementary Students) training modules developed by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). The modules are designed for use in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) classes in grades K-12. The hands on activities introduce students to the world of transportation and civil engineering and inspire them to consider careers in these fields. LTRC worked with several schools in six parishes with the state of Louisiana by providing the training modules to the schools and the training needed to K-12 teachers at the selected schools to effectively utilize the modules in a class room. A diverse group of students will be served by the teachers at the schools selected in the six parishes. AASHTO’s TRAC and RIDES program personnel supported LTRC in this outreach activity.
