Abstract

This project aims to develop several modules on social equity issues in transportation that can be incorporated into transportation courses and general civil engineering and construction courses. The project includes a needs assessment phase where transportation professionals will be interviewed about the equity knowledge engineering and construction students should gain in school. The modules will be structured in a way that allows course instructors to tailor the content to account for the diverse levels of knowledge and needs of students.
