ITE—A Community of Transportation Professionals (ITE) works to improve mobility and safety for all transportation system users, helping to build smart and livable communities.
Founded in 1930, ITE is a volunteer-driven association of more than 18,000 engineers, planners, consultants, educators, researchers, technologists, and students working in more than 78 countries.
ITE University of Waterloo Student Chapter (ITE UW) is a student community who are interested in exploring or aspiring to be future transportation professionals. We are affiliated with the ITE Southwestern Ontario Section and ITE Canada District. We provide opportunities for learning and networking, including connection to the local, regional, national, and international community of transportation professionals.
The ITE UW Student Chapter was established in 1974 and was one of the first student chapters in the Canadian District. The main objective of our student chapter is to attract students to the profession of transportation engineering and keep our members updated about the existing opportunities in both industry and academia.
The activities of our student chapter include holding academic seminars, guest lecturers, social events, organizing technical tours and visits, etc. The academic seminars and guest lecturers are in different transportation areas, e.g. traffic engineering, road safety, ITS, pavement, winter maintenance, and planning.
We also participate within the broader transportation community through projects such as the ITE data collection grants for conducting parking and trip generation surveys, traffic bowl, ITE section luncheons, student competitions and Transportation Talk newsletter. ITE UW is active in exposing undergraduate students to transportation engineering through seminar talks to students. The ITE UW student chapter is proud of our continued energetic activities over the years that enhance students’ knowledge in the field of transportation engineering.
Due to the scheduling of the University’s co-op system, ITE UW is split into two societies: A & B. When one society is on a study term, the other is on co-op. The societies rotate every four months. This system maintains a continual presence of ITE UW exec on campus year-round.
In May through August, Society B will be “on term”. Society A will be “on term” in the following 4 months.
