This curriculum focused mostly on engineeringfields that are relevant to Caltrans missions, and did not provide students the opportunity toexplore the many different pathways to the various engineering career options.In 2010, the SEI curriculum was drastically revised in order to present a more balancedcurriculum that introduces participants to the major areas of engineering. This revised SEIcurriculum—jointly developed and taught by community college and university engineeringfaculty—features lectures, hands-on workshops, demonstrations, panels, field trips, team-building activities, social events, and group projects.
