The Center for Safety and\u00a0Equity in Transportation (CSET) Tier 1 UTC\u00a0provided everyone with the opportunity to drive a remote control car on a track that included a roundabout, and race toy cars on a track. Both actions provided opportunities to discuss road safety concepts and engineering concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Center for Environmentally Sustainable Transportation in Cold Climates (CESTiCC) Tier 1 UTC offered an activity titled \u201cMaking Concrete\u201d\u00a0which taught young engineers and their families about the materials that go into building roadways and maintaining traction in the winter. The hands-on component of the activity was making playdough, introducing them to following a recipe, measuring ingredients and mixing the materials together to make something new.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UAF\u2019s College of Engineering and Mines (CEM) hosts an engineering week open house every year in conjunction with\u00a0national engineers week.
