Benefits of Student Membership

• ITE-sponsored field trips provide an opportunity for students to see "real-world" solutions to transportation problems and can provide a "behind the scene" view of transportation facilities and operations in the Puget Sound region.

• ITE invites guest speakers are invited to share their views on current issues and events impacting transportation engineering and planning.

• Student-specific workshops are hosted to promote student professionalism and marketability. Sample workshops include "How to Write a Resume" and "How to Create Your Own Web Page."

• Job opportunities are often available through ITE, as local companies and public agencies often contact us with local job opportunities. (Note to employers: We are more than happy to announce employment opportunities that you may have. Send any announcements directly to our US postal mailbox or our e-mailbox.)

  National job listings are available through the national Institute of Transportation Engineers Employment Center and students can post their resumes on the Student Resume Service.

• ITE provides many networking opportunities to meet transportation professionals and get acquainted with colleagues in the field. In particular, the UW ITE Student Chapter works with the Washington ITE Section Chapter to encourage student-professional interaction and communication.

• Community service opportunities are also available through ITE as members are exposed to various local charities in the community.

• CA$H: ITE provides many undergraduate and graduate scholarships and award opportunities. Traditionally, ITE has offered seven scholarships to juniors and seniors, valued between $400 and $500.

• Social activities are also often organized by ITE, such as attending a Seattle Thunderbirds professional hockey game, going bowling, having a potluck, or just hosting a meeting at a local pub or restaurant. This allows students to meet and talk about classes and other aspects of student life.

• Membership Recognition: ITE is a nationally recognized and respected organization in the transportation industry and its something that looks good on a resume!
