Education
The UTCM's interdisciplinary education programs may include:
- New Courses. UTCM awards funds to develop new courses for both students and professionals on the Texas A&M University campus and encourages the involvement of multiple departments.
- New Programs. UTCM awards funds for the development of new transportation programs at TAMU, either within a department or interdisciplinary in nature.
- Student Research Opportunities. UTCM offers undergraduates and graduates the educational opportunities that research provides by requiring student involvement in all funded projects.
- Awards for Excellence. UTCM will encourage academic excellence and increase student participation in professional activities by selecting one student per year to be named UTCM Outstanding Student of the Year. This student will be awarded $1000 and a trip to the annual meeting of the Transportation Research Board in Washington, DC, including an awards ceremony.
- Seminars. The Transportation Mobility Colloquium, a lunchtime series, will encourage fellowship between the professional transportation community and departments, colleges and programs with transportation interests. Interactions may stimulate opportunities for collaboration. UTCM will encourage student attendance for unique exposure to topics outside their direct transportation experiences.
- Other Opportunities. UTCM will promote and expand existing opportunities to enrich the student learning experience, such as summer programs, conferences or workshops.
