Welcome to ITE PURDUE STUDENT CHAPTER
The Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) is an international educational and scientific
association. ITE members are traffic engineers, transportation planners and
other professionals who are responsible for meeting society's needs for safe
and efficient surface transportation through planning, design, implementation,
operation and maintenance of transportation systems. The constitution of Purdue
University Student Chapter (PUSC) of the ITE was approved on January 14, 1977,
with James R. Mekemson as the President and Dr. Kumares Sinha as the Faculty
Advisor. The PUSC-ITE introduces students to the transportation profession and
promotes the advancement of the profession by fostering close association of
the students with practicing engineers, educators in other institutions, and
the Institute. Other objectives of this chapter include fostering the
development of professional spirit, acquainting students with topics of
interest in transportation, and promotion of common interests among students.
