by: Michael Saunders

The Federal Highway Administration, otherwise known as the FHWA, is an agency operating within the United States Department of Transportation that is largely responsible for the management of the country's highway transportation system.

The programs and initiatives of the FHWA are constantly guided by its general agency mission which is to "improve mobility on our Nation's highways through national leadership, innovation, and program delivery."

In line with this mission, the Federal Highway Administration has recently established the Garrett A. Morgan Technology and Transportation Education Program wherein it aims to improve the readiness of students in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics by way of the application of curriculum development and several other activities that are related to transportation education.

The activities that are included in this inquiry can include the following:

a) Internship programs that offer the target students with the experience in the transportation field

b) Programs and activities that will enable students to spend time observing active scientist and engineers while they are immersed in the transportation field
