This Transportation Camp at the University of Utah gives students the opportunity to gain a glimpse into the world of engineering through:
- Facility Tours
- Get up-close and personal tours of sites such as Salt Lake City Airport, UTA Trax, UDOT, and more! See how engineers behind the scenes keep our city moving.
- Lab Activities
- The laboratory activities in camp are intended to encourage teamwork and problem solving within the groups, and provide a fun, hands-on introduction to some aspects of transportation engineering.
- Demonstrations
- Learn what our faculty are building for the future, such as autonomous vehicles, advanced materials, and more!

What is Transportation Engineering?
Transportation engineering involves most, if not all, systems that move people or goods. These include urban and rural roads and highways, traffic lights, airports, railways, and mass transit. Engineers design asphalt and concrete mixes, highway and railway alignment, traffic light signaling, interchanges, and more. This infrastructure affects everyone on a daily basis and is essential to our way of life.
Camp Goals
Our hope for this camp is that you can gain a greater understanding of Civil Engineering and Transportation Engineering. We come in contact with these disciplines every day whether we try to or not. We have planned activities and field trips that will show you the real world application of transportation engineering. Through the activities and tours you'll walk away knowing a little more about how the transportation world functions and the important role it plays in our daily lives.
Most importantly, have fun! We'll be spending a good deal of time on the University of Utah campus and hope that you enjoy the experience. Nothing would make us happier than seeing you here in a couple years!
