CEE's ITE Student Chapter Wins James H. Kell Student Competition

CEE's student chapter of the Institute of Transportation Engineers recently won the James H. Kell Student Competition. They were awarded a certificate at the ITE Annual Meeting on July 12-15, in Denver, Co.

In response to the James H. Kell RFP, the ITE officers designed a competition or "game," which had as its purpose getting participants to think about real world problems in transportation engineering. Their game consisted of a city with neighborhoods connected through links such as roads, bike lanes, sidewalks, and mass transit. Each mode of transportation had a team assigned to it. As the teams navigated the city, they learned how certain modes of transportation are more socially acceptable than others.

Both CEE undergraduate and graduate students participated in the competition.
