Context Sensitive Solutions
Summer Academy 2007 |
CTE conducted the 2007 Context Sensitive Solutions Summer Academy in
cooperation with the North Carolina Department of Transportation.
Students were provided with an introduction
to the principles of context sensitive solutions as applied 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 2007 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 where they were placed
in positions that directly addressed environmental concerns in transportation. Students were required to research and write a case study related to their
work assignments.
On August 10, the students completed their internships 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.
