CTS Research Seminars — Fall 2008
The CTS Research Seminars are part of the CTS Seminar Series.
Every year, CTS offers a number of research seminars. The seminars are open to anyone interested in learning more about transportation research at the University of Minnesota. Undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and practitioners are encouraged to attend.
During the fall semester of 2008, seminars will be held Tuesday afternoons from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. CDT in Room 1130 of the Mechanical Engineering Building, on the east bank of the Twin Cities campus. There is no cost to attend, and registration is not required. Each seminar qualifies for one Professional Development Hour (PDH).
Seminars also will be broadcast live on the Web and available for later viewing. A reminder will be sent prior to each seminar with details about the Webcast. See the webinar viewing instructions for more information.
