Student Life in Transportation Engineering

Our students are engaged beyond the classroom, leading student organizations that facilitate learning and networking outside the classroom.


ITE Kick-off meeting

The joint ITE-ITS student chapter at NYU organizes seminars, networking events and field trips for transportation students and other students with a passion for transportation and smart cities. The two groups work together to spur interest, share ideas and foster discussion around multi-disciplinary transportation issues and emerging technologies.
