In the summer of 2017, 2018, and 2019, the Center for Research in Education in AdvancedTransportation Engineering Systems (CREATEs) at Rowan University hosted the National SummerTransportation Institute. The goal of this program is to provide high school students exposure totransportation engineering and other transportation-related education paths. More than 50% fromunderrepresented minority groups, including women, African Americans, and Hispanics/Latinos attendedthe two-week program. In 2017, the program was a non-residential, four-week program; 2018 was a two-week residential program and, in 2019, the program was a two-week non-residential program. In allprograms, the students explored different modes of transportation, such air, road

when STEM careers are set to grow by 12.6%over the next 10 years, 5.2% faster than other occupations (Burke, 2019).Additionally, STEM is facing a diversity crisis with a lack of representation from women andsome races. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, women make up only 15.9% of the totalengineering and architecture workforce (Employed Persons by Detailed Occupation, Sex, Race,and Hispanic or Latino Ethnicity, 2019). This creates an issue, as STEM peer contact correlateswith STEM retention among females (Hilts, Part & Bernacki, 2018). Further, according to theBureau of Labor Statistics, whites make up 79.3% percent of the total engineering andarchitecture workforce (Employed Persons by Detailed Occupation, 2019). Minorities
. Additionally, the student that was notcommitted was considering a career in engineering/technology. All students indicated that theyhad a very positive experience and that they would “recommend the program to their friends”. For the final part of the project, students presented and published their results. Since theend of the summer, students have made presentations at three national/regional conferences(including ASEE), and two more students will present their findings in the spring. Additionally,most of the students have submitted their work to high school science competitions includingRegeneron, JSHS (the Junior Mathematics, Science and Humanities Symposium), and NYCSEF(New York City Science and Engineering Fair), the winners of which will

Theactivities included hands-on components and field trips. The following areas were covered:Land TransportationHighways – Road ConstructionThe students were introduced to highway and bridge construction with highlights of studentsperforming the Standard Proctor Test, which is used to control the strength of road bases, andmeasuring elevation using the automatic level. They were shown the typical cross-section of a roadwith typical components of sub-grade, sub-base, base and the riding surface. Figure 2 shows a soilsample from the Standard
