Professional Development Activities

Part of a successful education program involves providing students with exposure to a full range of experiences that will help them in their professional careers. One element of this is to foster participation in professional development via forums such as student chapters of professional organizations.

CUTR faculty will continue to serve as faculty advisors for several such initiatives, including the student chapters of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), ITS America, and the Society of Automotive Engineers.

These complementary forums provide important peer networks, opportunities for enhancing personal interaction skills, forums for learning more about real world transportation issues, and social opportunities that can increase professional satisfaction. NCTR and the resources it brings to CUTR can support the enhancement of these activities by attracting and supporting the faculty and staff required to make these programs work.
