| 摘要： | Nineteenth century transportation innovations, such as steamboats and railroads, initially came from entrepreneurs' talents. These individuals were not dependent on a formal, academic network. However, in the 20th century, transportation issues became more complex, and other issues became more apparent. Transportation issues were part of the academic agenda but did not have their own framework. As the transportation education system grows, the focus is changing in several ways. From an academic standpoint, additional policy areas--as opposed to technical areas--become apparent. At the same time, there is a growing realization that transportation education needs to broaden its focus beyond academic offerings. Elementary and secondary curricula are being developed and revised; while at the other end of the spectrum, existing professionals are engaging in a lifelong learning process. It is no longer sufficient to have a technical background or to view transportation education as just a series of college courses. It is and will continue to be a multidisciplinary and lifelong endeavor. In the 21st century, four areas will have a crucial effect on future innovation: globalization, technology, changing demographics, and curriculum development. This paper presents insights into each, along with a conclusion that challenges the reader with a series of next steps to maintain the momentum. |
