Helping students find a career path at the Minnesota Department of Transportation

Last week, a new group of students in the MnDOT Civil Engineering Student Worker Program (CEP) met at the University of Minnesota to kick off their summer work experience. The students learned about how the Center for Transportation Studies, University of Minnesota (CTS) partners with MnDOT to improve Minnesota transportation. Students also had the opportunity to tour the Human Factors Safety Lab, a CTS facility, to see how engineering and psychology can be used to improve people's lives. While on the tour students got to experience an immersive driver simulator and see the MnCAV Ecosystem van, a level-two autonomous vehicle the lab uses for research in partnership with MnDOT.
