Future City Competition 2023 ITE STEM Committee

This top 10 list is intended to convey critical career lessons and principles learned by data experts with decades of experience in the "school of hard knocks." Recent graduates and entry-level transportation practitioners learned foundational theories and concepts in college studies, and some fortunate students may have also learned a few of these real-world lessons from pragmatic professors.

This Quick Bite highlights current trends and programs as examples of how transportation agencies and contractors are building and improving the transportation data workforce.

The 2021 ITE Developing Trends Report represents collective input from ITE Councils and Standing Committees on emerging transportation challenges and solutions. The report covers transportation planning, engineering, management, and operation advancements and will benefit the industry's leaders and professionals in the public and private sectors. The Developing Trends Report Task Force reached out to all ITE Councils and Standing Committees to identify trends relevant to their scope and expertise.

Students will conduct online research to learn more about a topic related to transportation and climate change and present their findings with a call to action based on their findings. The presentations should consider how the topic is part of a larger transportation system and provide steps needed to implement the action. The evaluation rubric should be used by facilitators and students to guide development of the presentation.

Streets Have Personality Game

Understand and experience waves as they exist in traffic through marble modeling.

This project allows students to conduct online research to learn more about safety benefits accrued at each of the levels of autonomous driving as defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). This is a topic related to transportation trends and technologies, further intended to educate an audience of their peers. Students are then to assemble in teams and present their understanding of each level of automation as well as pick the level of automation they believe will clearly provide the most safety benefits while minimizing driver confusion and challenges in adoption. The final product for this project is a group presentation to an audience that may include other students, teachers, and/or parents.
