🚦 ITE-UWM Transportation Seminar Series – Fall 2025
Fall 2025
The UWM Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Student Chapter is hosting the Transportation Research Series, a semester-long seminar program featuring speakers from industry, academia, and government agencies. These seminars showcase innovative research, project updates, and professional insights from leading experts across the transportation field. Topics include traffic operations, safety, construction management, intelligent transportation systems, and emerging mobility technologies.
Our goal is to create an open learning platform where students, faculty, and professionals can exchange ideas, explore career pathways, and stay informed about current developments in transportation and infrastructure. As transportation research increasingly bridges multiple disciplines such as civil engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and industrial engineering, we invite colleagues and students from across departments to join these sessions.
We’re thrilled to continue our Friday seminar lineup featuring amazing speakers from academia, industry, and government — all sharing their expertise and innovations in transportation!
