What is the IDOT Engineering Academy?  Launched in 2008  IDOT partners with schools and school districts  Educational modules from AASHTO TRAC outreach program.  TRAC - Transportation and Civil Engineering, provides eight modules that introduce students K-12 to the work world of transportation and civil engineering while improving Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math skills (STEM).

Why the IDOT Engineering Academy?  Increase interest in STEM at the K-12 level  IDOT uses TRAC modules to promote civil engineering as a career  Long range goal of increasing diversity in the IDOT workforce  The challenge is to develop innovative new programs to inspire more students to pursue STEM subject expertise, and specifically to encourage them to consider transportation careers.

Benefits Students learn by working directly with professional engineers TRAC provides “canned” STEM curriculum Helps IDOT reach underserved communities with STEM programming Mentoring programs Improved Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math skills (STEM) Public-private collaborations (private engineering firms)

The Engineering Academy Program Most Engineering Academy Programs begin in October and hold their final sessions by the end of December or may flow into January and February. The program is flexible and is developed to accommodate the school which may opt to offer an afterschool or Saturday club.

Examples of Engineering Academy Programs Chicago Public Schools, Thornton Township High School District and Peoria School District 150  In schools (9 th through 12 th grades) during school day or immediately after last class period  Some schools opted for a Saturday program Rockford School District  Saturday Academy open to all district high schools during February and March Maywood-Melrose Park-Broadview District 89 and Springfield District 186  After school explorer clubs for 6 th, 7 th and 8 th grades
