Abstract:

The National Summer Transportation Institute (NSTI), which is funded by the U. S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) provides opportunities for secondary school students to pursue careers in the Transportation industry. Students spend four weeks at several universities and colleges across the country engaged in practical workshops on statistics, mathematics, engineering, science and communications. Laboratory and field trips are an integral part of the program. Case studies of the program breath, history, evaluation and future will be presented. There will be a discussion of the unique emphases adopted at two completely different institutions and an attempt to develop an evaluation scheme for programs in successive years.
