UTC Research Assistants
Graduate students from the UIC colleges of Urban Planning and Public Affairs, Engineering and others work closely with UTC research staff and affiliated faculty to provide creative solutions to the complicated transportation challenges addressed in research projects. This level of real-word experience gives students an opportunity to hone skills learned in the classroom and apply that knowledge to modern transportation research.
Upon graduation, UTC student researchers are better prepared to lead and excel in the workplace.
