Abstract


Intelligent Transportation Systems in the Community College Curriculum
Track: Universities and Higher Education
Author(s): Les Doak

Intelligent Transportation Systems incorporate a rapidly emerging GIS/GPS application model. Community colleges have a special role in providing technical and academic support for business and industry. The Departments of Automotive Technology and Geography at Cypress College have been awarded a four-year grant to develop an ITS program including courses and a technical certificate. Cypress will work with the Anaheim Union High School District Advanced Transportation Academy, selected universities, and business and industry leaders including the Orange County Transportation Authority to integrate ITS into two already successful programs. Concepts, ideas, suggested courses, and career paths will be presented and reviewed.
