Abstract:Since its October 2013 inception, the University Transportation Center for Railway Safety (UTCRS) at the University of Texas-Pan American (UTPA) and its consortium institutions, Texas A&M University (TAMU), and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL), have focused on raising awareness of transportation engineering and railway safety. As part of the center’s education and community outreach activities, the UTCRS organized in the summer of 2014 the largest STEM camps ever held at UTPA. The camps introduce traditionally underrepresented elementary, middle school, and high school students to careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) with an emphasis on transportation engineering.
