Friday Transportation Seminar Series

2021 Fall Friday Transportation Seminar Series

The goals of the weekly Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering/Center for Urban Transportation Research Friday Seminar Series are:

Provide transportation students with seminars, presentations, and discussions of contemporary transportation research, technology and implementation issues, presented by local, regional and/or national level speakers and visiting scholars.
To increase knowledge at the local and regional levels on issues related to transportation research, technology and implementation.
To increase the reach of technology transfer, especially to those transportation professionals who are unable to travel to state and national conferences, due to time and cost constraints.
To encourage discussion among participants and receive input on subjects requiring future research.

The seminar is offered as TTE 6930 Graduate Transportation Seminar for 1 credit.

The CEE/CUTR Friday Transportation Seminars are held every Friday during the USF semester from 12:00 Noon to 1:00 PM (ET). For Fall 2020, please join us virtually on Microsoft Teams. The link will be posted on our website and Facebook pages.

For more information about the USF ITE Student Chapter, visit the organization’s website or follow us on Facebook.
