Earlier this month, SCAG sponsored the CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION FOUNDATION's annual Transportation Education Symposium, an intense two-day, hands-on workshop that pairs undergraduate engineering and planning students from across the state with a professional mentor for one-on-one coaching. Student teams collaborate to develop a grant application, with professionals role-playing as stakeholders and decision-makers. The 29th Annual Transportation Education Symposium was held on Nov. 7-8 in Fresno. SCAG’s Bayarmaa Aleksandr attended the event as a mentor, taking on the role of a climate scientist and stakeholder.
