This course has the ability toinspire students to pursue more advanced transportation engineering courses andultimately a career within the field.

A different model has been proposed that argues forbroadening the pool of potential students at the secondary level, rather than “skimming the cream.” 23 Othershave also argued that there is a larger, able, potential pool of students below the very top group that should beencouraged to pursue careers in mathematics, science and engineering.4,15 Many of these students are womenand minorities.

Additionally,the growth of robotics and other automation in the workforce is shifting the demand to high-skill,high-wage jobs [3].
