Abstract
Improving our transportation systems and building roads and bridges is a complex process full of technical information, detailed analysis, careful coordination, and lots of acronyms! That’s where engineering and communications intersect. Strategic messaging, targeted outreach, and engaging materials set the stage for project success. This session will focus on communication challenges and successes on major INDOT projects and practical tips to help engineers become communicators or at least feel more comfortable in this important role.
