DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn an editorial, the chairman of the TRB Committee on Transportation Education and Training states his opinion that the shortage of transportation engineering graduate students is severe enough to warrant universities, professional societies, private firms, and government agencies developing a more extensive strategy reaching from high school and undergraduate education to the job market. The circular itself reports on a meeting of the ASCE Urban Transportation Division's Committee on Transportation Education. (Three task forces were formed to determine what topics in transportation engineering are currently being taught to undergraduate civil engineering students, develop a resource guide of existing transportation education materials available to undergraduates and identify future areas of emphasis in transportation engineering.) There are also reports on West Virginia University's workshops on the fundamentals of traffic engineering for community officials and on short courses currently offered by the University of Alberta.
