- Class Description:
- This course is one in a series of project-based classes in non-motorized transportation in partnership with local and state agencies such as the City of Minneapolis, Department of Public Works, the Minneapolis Department of Transportation (MnDOT), and Hennepin County. The class is a practicum, which means practice-based, or that we learn by doing. We begin with a problem statement, then develop a work plan, conduct the planned research or experiment, and then analyze and report results. Specific topics vary from class-to-class and year-to-year, but students will be able to build on and add to previous studies, thus providing partners with important support and insights that would not be possible with a single semester's study. With the exception of a few conversations near the beginning of the class, the students' entire effort will be devoted to completion of the research projects . Students will present findings to partners and may submit papers for presentation at the Transportation Research Board annual conference in Washington DC.
