| dc.description.abstract | Transportation engineering education enhanced through sustainable technology transfer (T2) centre operation and research collaboration are integral to our society, but there are persistent challenges to their sustainability. This necessitated an international innovative strategy of collaborations among academia, industry, and the transport sector. The solution has been enhanced through the establishment of transportation Technology Transfer (T2) centres that have emerged in many countries all over the world as sustainable agents and catalysts for improvements in disseminating experiences, technologies, best practices and innovations. There is a generally perceived link between the state of development of a country's transportation systems and the extent of technology usage and availability of technical information in that country. To keep pace with the new technologies, transportation engineering education needs information and knowledge that will enable it to advance its processes, incorporate new products into existing programmes, and increase technical know-how that produces positive change and economic development. This paper intends to discuss the innovative strategies adopted in operating transportation technology transfer centres globally. Strategies adopted to achieve the objective were establishing and maintaining a transportation database and website accessible by transportation engineering professionals; publishing and disseminating quarterly (T2) newsletters; hosting Africa (T2) conferences; and identifying training programs for the stakeholders. In conclusion, the paper highlighted the outcome of operating (T2) centre to enhance quality transportation engineering education through effective technology transfer operations for economic development. | en_US |
