摘要：	LEGO庐 Robot Vehicle Lesson Plans for Secondary Education 鈥?A Recruitment Tool for Transportation Engineering was a workforce development project that was used to introduce students at the middle school level to congestion mitigation solution research, describing the importance of modeling and assessment of advanced technologies and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) with respect to congestion mitigation; and improvements of traffic signal systems to reduce delays in urban corridors. Students used computers, basic computer programming, mathematics, and robots as tools. They were introduced to transportation engineering as a career and were shown how STEM subjects apply to the field. Through the material presented in the lesson plans, the students developed an understanding of the work involved in transportation engineering. The lesson plans were used to show the students how transportation affects society as a whole and teach them how the use of advanced technology is integral to solving current and future transportation problems. Students were able to relate what they were learning about technology and engineering through hands-on exercises that employed elements of math and science.
