Abstract:

Understanding the inner-connectives in transportation might be more important to the transportation consultant than understanding too thoroughly each of the individual pieces. Today, the professional is in the midst of very complicated planning, design, and management of projects. The smorgasboard of professional activities and opportunities can to a degree be overwhelming. These situations can be overcome by giving full attention to personal achievements and advances and also to advances in the overall interest of the profession. Because it is not possible to expand or greatly change the curricula of most engineering courses, it might be advisable for universities to emphasize to students the need for continuing education when they enter transportation consulting. Encouraging students to participate in professional conferences, including the preparation and presentation of technical papers, and to become a part of the transportation profession as soon as they are qualified can be valuable to consulting organizations.
