How can public transportation improve quality of life in both urban and rural areas (within the United States and internationally) and what specific transit systems or strategies would best deliver these benefits?”

As a Transportation planner, engineer, or other professional in the field of transportation, do you think the United States and/or other North and South American nations could benefit from more accessible and efficient public transportation options? If so, what type or types of transportation would you focus on to cultivate the culture of accessible and efficient transportation in the US and abroad? Finally, in these situations, could a hybrid underground-above-ground option (most notably seen in Porto) be utilized in highly historical cities such as Boston, USA, or Rio de Janeiro, Brazil? #fall25

Reflecting on your college days, what small habit or choice that you adopted turned out to have the most significant impact on your life later on?

Being a high school senior, I understand the challenges of making tough choices, particularly with college decision day approaching. However, moving to college represents a completely new atmosphere that we seniors are about to enter. It's an exciting opportunity, yet it's terrifying to think about. Personally, I recognize that I require appropriate guidance and insights to distinguish between a poor decision and a wise one.

What should I become a planner, interior designer, or architect?

I'm in 8th grade and I have a passion for art, design, and creating spaces. Urban planning is the most interesting to me, but I'm not sure about the political side of it. Interior design also is fascinating, but I would if I'm not creative enough. Lastly, I love architecture but I am not the best at math and I wonder what daily work is like. Any other career ideas? I know I want to go into those kind of field areas. Perheaps a civil engineer? This is stressful..

Do civil engineers enjoy their job?

Is it also worth majoring in civil engineering if you want to major in engineering as it pays a lot less than the other choices? I want to do architecture based building with homes and residential properties, but some people have said civil engineering is a better pathway to get to this although I have also heard that civil engineering can tend to be very boring and people end up building a lot of boring infrastructures like bridges, roads, and hangers. What do you think?

After a 5 year architecture undergrad program should I go to graduate school?

I like the idea of going to a B.Arch program but I also would like to go to grad school. Would you recommend continuing to get a architecture masters after a B.Arch or is that a waste of money and time. And if it is advisable to get a masters in architecture after a B.Arch then should I work in the architecture field first before I pursue a masters or should I go straight from B.Arch to a masters program. #architecture #information-architecture #solution-architecture #architecture-and-planning #graduate-school #graduate #graduate-school-
