Innovative Educational Modules for the Next Generation of Transportation Professionals (UTCM 11-27-70)

Basic science and mathematics competence, including awareness of engineering careers, gained in grades K-12 forms the foundation of an educated, capable, and technical future transportation workforce. This project developed a series of educational science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)-based modules for grades 6-12. These modules engage students in real-world applications of math, deductive reasoning, and problem solving. The modules can be incorporated in either the classroom or informal educational settings, such as afterschool enrichment programs. The modules created by this project can be found at http://www.transportationoutreach.org.
