George Mason University helps next generation consider the future of the nation's infrastructure systems
A follow-up to a symposium of the same name that was held in Oct. 2017, the project was based on the theory that infrastructure systems such as roadways, clean and wastewater pipelines, power networks, and natural gas networks are no longer detached systems.
By conducting exercises with more than 100 students and young professionals at the ASCE Region 2 Assembly held on the GMU Fairfax campus on Nov. 17, 2018, Miller-Hooks' project allowed graduate students to design and run the event, providing opportunities for real-world experience in education and leadership. A complete copy of the final report is available on r3utc.psu.edu.

Lehigh University conducts undergraduate research expe
rience program
The program, which ran from May 29, 2019 through August 2, 2019, featured Lehigh University students who participated in a program that exposed the students to a well-rounded professional development experience.
The REU program featured research from four projects including:
The program's activities included professional skills development workshops and seminars, onsite outreach activities, and offsite tours. In addition, students were assigned to an active CIAMTIS research project at ATLSS under the direction of the project Principal Investigator and graduate student mentor to help them navigate through the research project experience. The program culminated with a
final report
, presentation, and poster on their research findings.

Research Thrust 1:
Application of Innovative Materials and Technologies >>
|
The Center for Integrated Asset Management for Multimodal Transportation Infrastructure Systems (CIAMTIS) is the USDOT Region 3 (Mid-Atlantic) University Transportation Center (UTC) housed at the
Larson Transportation Institute (LTI), on the University Park campus of Penn State. CIAMTIS focuses on
improving the durability and extending the life of transportation infrastructure. The center has seven partners, representing five states in the Mid-Atlantic United States. Recognized as leaders at state, regional, national, and international levels, Penn State and its partners maximize contributions to solve current and future transportation infrastructure issues.
