News - The next scheduled outreach event, to be held during Spring 2016, will be an educational outreach program with local school children. The program, conducted almost every semester, allows AUITE an opportunity to interact with surrounding schools on a rotational basis thanks to wonderful relationships that have been established with teachers. The outreach program, which has been operational for a number of years, provides 4th and 5th grade students an hour-long block of instruction with a focus on traffic safety. The presentation includes several questions to get the students involved. In addition, traffic items, including raised pavement markers, samples of pavement paint and tape, and mini street sign models, are passed around to the students for a hands-on learning experience. Additionally, students are provided an opportunity to learn about the engineering profession with a focus on transportation engineering.
