Abstract:In April 2012, the Council of University Transportation Centers sponsored a National Transportation Workforce Summit to address the dynamic needs of the future transportation workforce. One stated objective was to promote greater visibility for transportation careers in industry, government, and academia. Since then, Carnegie Mellon university’s (CMU) Technologies for Safe and Efficient Transportation (T-SET), a U.S. Department of Transportation funded University Transportation Center (UTC), has developed a strategic approach. The approach includes exposing a multidisciplinary group of students to the world of transportation, demonstrating how their skills can be applied by providing real world transportation research projects, creating job opportunities by linking students with real world transportation partners, and exposing industry to innovative transportation research.
