CAMMSE’S TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING SUMMER CAMP WAS SUCCESSFULLY HELD ON JUNE 20-24, 2022 ON THE UNC CHARLOTTE CAMPUS

The 5th Annual Transportation Summer Camp was the week of June 20-24, 2022, led by Dr. Martin Kane with help from Dr. Erika Weber from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. This year [2022] was different than 2021. There were fewer restrictions about the number of campers allowed to participate [25] and we were allowed to return to the field trips away from the UNC Charlotte campus. There were three remote [Zoom] sessions throughout the week from the City of Austin, Texas about Smart Streets, Michigan State University about Smart Vehicles, and Dr. Mei Sun from UNC Charlotte Civil & Environmental Engineering about the environmental aspects of civil engineering. We rotated between in-classroom activities and outside activities on the UNC Charlotte campus. All of the campers were engaged every day, especially when we went to see the different bridges around campus, the traffic observations on campus, and the field trips to the Charlotte Area Transit System LYNX facility and the Charlotte-Douglas [CLT] airport. There were 12 campers enrolled and all the campers were curious and asked many questions about many things.
