Workforce Development, Outreach, and Tech Transfer

In this project, the team will undertake impactful workforce development, outreach and tech transfer activities in collaboration with the Southern Plains Transportation Center, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, Oklahoma State University, and the private sector. As noted in the preceding section, these activities include 2023 Oklahoma Transportation Research Day, 2023 Oklahoma Transportation Symposium (in collaboration with Oklahoma State University), 2023 OU Engineering Days high school outreach event, seminars, and workshops. The Exxon-Mobil Rawl Engineering Practice Facility (REPF) on Norman Campus is an excellent facility for providing outreach to students of different levels (elementary to high school). SEED scholars design and implement hands on activities to students visiting this facility. This project is expected to provide partial support for a SEED scholar. Also, several seminars, webinars, and short courses will be organized in this project. Finally, the overall center operation including submitting progress reports, final reports, and tracking data, and attending annual meeting, co-director’s meetings, and other activities will be pursued in this project.
