Context Sensitive Solutions Summer Academy 2004 |
 In
cooperation with the North Carolina Department of Transportation,
CTE conducts a unique, experiential summer program for junior- and
senior-level undergraduate students interested in careers in transportation
and the environment. The CSS Summer Academy introduces students to
the principles of context sensitive solutions. More, it illustrates
how CSS concepts are being applied at various levels of transportation
planning, project development, construction, operations and maintenance.
In addition to classroom instruction, students participate in field
trips that showcase real-life applications of CSS. Throughout the
summer (May - July), students also work as paid interns with the North
Carolina Department of Transportation. They are placed in positions
that directly address environmental concerns in transportation and
are required to research and write a case study related to their work
assignments.
In 2004, the students of the CSS Summer Academy completed their internships
on August 3 and provided oral presentations of their experiential
work activities to a group of local area practitioners and faculty
researchers. In addition to a paid salary, the students received a
CSS certificate of accomplishment and the opportunity to circulate
their resumes to agencies and organizations seeking new hires who
possess a broader understanding of transportation and environmental
issues.
