Context Sensitive Solutions
Summer Academy 2006 |
The Context Sensitive Solutions Summer Academy for 2006 introduced participating students to the principles of context sensitive solutions and its application at various levels
of transportation planning, project development, construction, operations
and maintenance. Dr. John Stone and Dr. Joe Hummer, both from the
Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering Department at
NC State University, led the 2006 Academy through coursework and
case study activities.
In addition to classroom instruction, students participated in
field trips that showcased real-life applications of CSS. Throughout
the summer (May - August), students also worked as paid interns with
the North Carolina Department of Transportation. They were placed
in positions that directly addressed environmental concerns in transportation
and were required to research and write a case study related to their
work assignments; see CSS
Academy Schedule 2006.
In 2006, the students of the CSS Summer Academy completed their internships
on August 16 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.
