Student Night Competition Thank you to all who attended the ITE Student Night. The evening was a great success. There were a total of 13 students in attendance from three different universities:
Four groups competed in the student competition, and each group did a great job putting together poster boards and PowerPoint presentations on their traffic calming plans for the Cherryhill neighborhood in the City of Bothell. The students all showed a lot of initiative making field visits to the site, researching the City of Bothell’s regulations, and the winning group even attending a neighborhood meeting about the traffic issues. The results from this year’s student competition are:
A special thanks to All Traffic Data for sponsoring the cash prizes awarded for the student competition! And thanks also to the City of Bothell for letting us use a new neighborhood traffic-calming study for this year’s competition. The scholarships for Outstanding Graduate and Undergraduate in Transportation Engineering were also awarded at the student night. The graduate scholarship ($1500) was awarded to Yao-Jan Wu from the University of Washington and the undergraduate scholarship ($1200) was awarded to Charles Wence from Seattle University. Congratulations to both winners! Lastly,
the Washington State Section sponsored four students from the University
of Washington to attend the CITE meeting in Victoria in April. This
event was another opportunity that allows students the chance to network
with professionals, attend presentations on current transportation
issues, and even manage to have a bit of fun.
