Twenty 7^th, 8^th and 9^th graders associated with the Upward Bound Program visited the SIUE School of Engineering for the Cooperative Transportation Institute with SIUC.  The program exposes talented underprivileged students to the prospect of careers in transportation.  Dr.’s Ryan Fries and Huaguo Zhou facilitated the program in which the students built popsicle stick bridges, participated in a driving simulator and competed in “Transportation Jeopardy.”  The students assumed the roles of the police and firefighters in incident management demonstrations.  The Upward Bound will interact with the SIUE School of Engineering Formula 1, Solar Car and Mini Baja teams Sunday, October 25^th , when they will graduate from the program.  For more information, please contact Dr. Ryan Fries at rfries@siue.edu.
