What is ITE?
The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), an international educational and scientific association, is one of the largest and fastest-growing professional transportation organizations in the world. ITE members include engineers, planners, and other transport professionals who are responsible for meeting society's needs for safe and efficient surface transportation. US News & World Report included Traffic Engineer as one of "the nation's eight most secure career tracks"

Why Join ITE?
Membership in the student chapter is an excellent way to become familiar with the transportation field. There are many social benefits as well as professional and academic benefits such as:

• Free national ITE membership for the first year
• Free attendance at local and district ITE meetings and conferences
• Place your resume or a link to your homepage on the ITE WebPages
• Participate in the ITE annual project (with an option to earn units toward the Transportation Systems specialization)

Annual Project:
Each year, the UCI ITE Student Chapter completes an annual research project in traffic engineering, transportation modeling, or other areas of transportation engineering. Typically, the annual project is completed in cooperation with the public works departments of one of our local communities. The UCI Chapter's 1999 Annual Project won ITE's James H. Kell Award. In 2000 and 2001, the Chapter received "Honorable Mention" for District 6 Chapter of the Year (based in large measure on our annual project). Last year, the Chapter was awarded 1st Place in the Southern California Section Student Project/Presentation.
