Mississippi to use TRAC curricula in all public middle schools.

Publication: Public Roads
Date: Saturday, May 1 2004

The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' (AASHTO) Transportation and Civil Engineering (TRAC) Program received a $1 million grant from the Mississippi Transportation Commission to fund the program's statewide launch. The TRAC program educates students about the

role that civil engineering plays in society and the possibilities for careers in engineering.

Mississippi is the first State to use the program in its 7th grade curriculum in the 2003-2004 school year. AASHTO created TRAC to generate interest in transportation careers among young people. The program addresses two related needs within the field: recruiting top students to transportation and engineering and increasing diversity in the workforce. Currently, 29 States and two countries--South Africa and Tanzania--are using the program.

For more information about the TRAC program, contact Tate Jackson at 202-624-5814 or tjackson@aashto.org.
