The National Transportation Curriculum Project (NTCP) has been underway for four years as an ad-hoc, collaborative effort to effect changes in transportation engineering education. Specifically, the NTCP had developed a set of learning outcomes and associated knowledge tables for the introductory transportation engineering course that is taught in most civil engineering programs, and most recently the project led a workshop, supported by the National Science Foundation, in which approximately 60 participants developed learning and assessment activities to support these learning outcomes. The inter-generational, geographically and institutionally diverse group of faculty members that form the core project group provide a model for cross-institutional collaborative curriculum design.
