For the research project, every student will conduct an effort aimed at identifying factors that influence transportation system security and safety problems and innovative solutions/countermeasures, which might address the problem. The students can choose a topic that is of interest to them and it can be a project that you are currently working on or intend to possibly explore at a later date (i.e. graduate school, thesis).
The paper should be 6-8 pages (12 point font, double-spaced, etc.) and contain a minimum of five references.
