Transportation Ed Pilot Program; Development, Deployment & Assessment of a New Paradigm for Transportation Professionals and University Students: A collaboration of the Region X Transportation Consortium.

Alaska University Transportation Center (AUTC) will develop remote-based training modules for transportation professionals. The proposed curricula is problem-based focused on providing tools for the professional such as traffic simulation, structural analysis or planning modules. Learning in this new environment will build team building and communication skills. This is a new approach which encourages developing both technical and collaboration skills. AUTC will work with the Region X Transportation Consortium comprised of four university transportation centers from Washington, Oregon, Alaska and Idaho. Each center will develop and deliver training modules to the State departments of transportation (DOTs) and their partners. We are replicating the work environment of the 21st Century.
