An International Research focused on Transportation wasdeveloped utilizing the design and distribution of a Comprehensive Transportation Survey (CTS)in Feira de Santana, Bahia state (Brazil). In collaboration with the State University of Feira deSantana, the CTS was developed in Summer 2016 by a team of three program scholars. A teamof ten students at State University of Feira de Santana was trained and engaged in

The year 2035will see the culmination of three major forces: (1) the last of the Baby Boomers turning 65+ yearsof age (2030), (2) the cross-over where the number of people 65+ years of age outnumber theyouths under the age of 18 (2035), and, (3) the recognition that the primary driver for populationgrowth in the U.S. will be from international migration (2030).These three major events will take place over the upcoming decade. Each of which, by itself, mayappear relatively harmless

One way to prepare engineering students tomeet industry expectations is by involving them in real world experiences where they cantransfer some of the knowledge

Introduction To help starting engineering students in properly preparing for their engineering careers,introductory engineering textbooks advise them to devote a minimum of two to three hours ofstudy for every lecture-hour they attend [1]. In such textbooks, the point is often made that inhigh school most learning takes place in the classroom, whereas in college most learning takesplace outside the classroom. This important point correlates with other studies based on cognitivepsychology, which point out that the
