Selection tool to Traffic Congestion in Metro Atlanta: A Case StudyAbstractTraffic and congestion is a problem in most major U.S. cities. The difference between traffic inAtlanta compared to New York or Los Angeles is the lack of proper planning and budget to meetthe transportation demands of a continuously growing city. Over the past few decades,population and traffic congestion in Metro Atlanta has continuously been on the rise. Theproblem has been exacerbated with a dwindling budget to support current and futuretransportation projects and initiatives. The Georgia Department of Transportation must becomeopen to additional ways to resolve this problem. This paper reviews the past, current and futuretransportation

Second, the paper reports on thedevelopment, implementation, and subsequent evaluation of a senior design course at aninternational university, where practitioners have played a major role in planning and teachingthe capstone course.

A recent podcast from Leoson et al.[24] provided a clear synthesis of how storytelling canbe used to teach a variety of concepts through story-based pedagogy. According to them, storiescan enhance the learning experience by creating meaningful connections, establishing solidcontext and positionality, and supporting student engagement. A pedagogy centered on narrativesallows instructors the freedom to incorporate different models, technologies, subjects, andstorytelling plans to provide immersive experiences for students.
