Our values . . .
Six core values inform our work:
Environmentally-Friendly and
Sustainable
Transportation
We are committed to preserving and protecting the
natural and pristine environments of the Pacific Northwest and its small
cities and towns. We contribute to the sustainability of this
environment through the development of clean vehicles, alternative
fuels, efficient traffic control systems, safe transportation systems,
sound infrastructure, and the policies that support these
systems.
Practical, experiential for
student-centered learning environment
Universities exist primarily
to educate the citizens that it serves. We value our students and engage
them in practical, experiential-learning centered
environments.
Life-long learning
We provide life-long,
continuous learning opportunities for transportation professionals in
Idaho and the Northwest at all levels of practice.
Practical Research and
Relevant Problems
We
engage our faculty and students in challenging, practical, and relevant
transportation problems that have regional and national significance. Our
research results in technology that satisfies the needs of our
clients. Our research informs the actions and decisions of our clients.
Interdisciplinary, Collaborative
Teams
We
create interdisciplinary teams of undergraduate students, working with
graduate students, mentored by expert faculty. We seek partnerships with
organizations committed to our values to work on problems of mutual
interest. We
look to partners in the Pacific Northwest, both at
universities and departments of transportation, for collaborative
partnerships.
Integration of Education and
Research
We are
committed to integrating our research with the educational programs of
the university. |
