The ITS Curriculum Resources web page is a nationwide curriculum directory for prospective students and educators. It is a database of institutions that offer coursework in ITS, connected vehicles, automated vehicles, smart cities, or other innovative transportation research. The web page provides information about courses offered, contacts, and research centers at universities, community colleges, technical schools, and other institutions. This resource is meant to offer educators a platform to feature their ITS courses and an opportunity to informally network with other educators, exchanging lesson plans and best practices. It also aims to offer prospective students interested in ITS a “one-stop-shop” as they explore educational options.
We want to ensure this database is as comprehensive as possible. If you know of a university or other institution that should be added, please contact Jaime.Young@dot.gov.
