transportation.This importance is underscored by the work of the ASCE Committee on America’sInfrastructure. In its 2021 report card, this committee gave US Infrastructure an overall grade ofC- (Mediocre, requires attention). They used the following criteria: a) capacity, b) condition, c)funding, d) future need, e) operation and maintenance, f) public safety, g) resilience, and h)innovation (ASCE, 2021). These criteria represent a systems view of transportation. We needfuture transportation engineers to develop these viewpoints to ensure a sustainable transportationinfrastructure for all. However, developing understanding of transportation engineering issuesand acquiring expertise requires long-term engagement including education pathways inundergraduate

This paper provides an overview of an outreachprogram developed at Saint Louis University to serve high school students from the St. Louisregion.Transportation as a Vehicle for Introducing Students to STEMVirtually everyone relies on a mode of transportation during their everyday life to accesshealthcare, commute to work, attend school, or shop. Transportation also plays a significant rolein the economic development of regions and is vital to many economic sectors such asagriculture, manufacturing, and retail. Providing a safe, sustainable, resilient, equitable, reliable,and efficient transportation system requires a broad and diverse set of expertise that includescivil engineering (infrastructure design and

design thinking. Grover and Pea also highlight robotics kits as one of theideal environments and tools that can help assess and foster computational thinking.3. Development of Research SettingIn order to determine the prerequisites for middle school students who participated in robotics-based STEM lessons and to address the adopted research questions, as described below, we firstdeveloped the required infrastructure (human, technology, curricula, and processes), whichconstitutes as our research setting.3.1. Overview of Teacher PD Program: To facilitate the proposed study, we designed andimplemented a summer PD program for middle school teachers  at the NYU Tandon School ofEngineering. We recruited 23 science and math teachers, from New York City
