Email list for transportation students

Students in Transportation Engineering and Planning (STEP) has a list announce transportation-related jobs, internships, scholarships, research assistantships, seminars, classes, meetings, field trips, events, lectures, conferences, social events and other opportunities. The volume of messages is not great, so please don't hesitate to join. That's where we'll send messages about events and jobs.

The research paper or project is meant to demonstrate a student's ability to integrate and apply material from his or her course work and is designed in consultation with faculty.
