Session Title
Critical Thinking in Transportation Design
Track Title

Event Description/Abstract
Engineers must think critically and be open to new information and perspectives to keep pace with evolving best practices in urban transportation design. Competing demands in these constrained environments require designers to exercise judgment rather than simply apply standard details. This session will explore case studies from Austin, Texas; Boise, Idaho; and Bloomington, Indiana, in a discussion about the importance of understanding engineering theory and knowing when and how to apply engineering judgment.
