Professional Development
 Education
is never complete in this world of rapid technological change. UW-Madison
trains not only students, but also current professionals in the industry
to be successful in their work. The transportation courses and centers
offer various opportunities to develop communication, technical, and other
skills pertinent to the work force.
Transportation Information Center
The Transportation Information Center offers training, publishes a newsletter
and technical bulletins, supports a Wisconsin Pavement Management system
for local roads, and gives advice. It collects video tapes and printed
materials which it loans or sends to local officials. Every year Wisconsin
municipalities spend one billion dollars to repair and replace roads and
bridges. There are nearly 100,000 miles of local roads in Wisconsin. The
Wisconsin Transportation Information Center was created in 1983 to help
local highway officials manage their road systems and this huge road budget.
Engineering Professional
Development (EPD)
The University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Department of Engineering Professional
Development in the College of Engineering is dedicated to providing the
skills and knowledge you need to master new approaches, solve on-the-job
problems, and advance your career. The department offers over 400 courses
annually in engineering, architecture, management and other technical
areas. The practical, applied focus courses are offered on the UW-Madison
campus and other locations around the nation in condensed 1-5 day format.
