FIRST GRADUATING CLASS FOR THE MASTERS OF SUPPLY CHAIN TRANSPORTATION & LOGISTICS PROGRAM This past summer, the online Master of Supply Chain Transportation & Logistics at the University of Washington graduated its inaugural class of 28 students. Known as "The Originals", this impressive group spent two years balancing the demands of part- time school with full-time employment at companies like Boeing, Zulily, REI, and Tesla. The SCTL program combines engineering and business principles with industry best practices to provide students with the knowledge needed to successfully design, implement, and manage complex supply chain transportation and logistics strategies. The curriculum focuses on cross-functional areas–such as operations, inventory management, and IT systems–to develop skills in the end-to-end management of transportation in a global supply chain. Students then apply what they've learned to a real-world problem during a two-quarter practicum project. 8TH ANNUAL BILL KLOOS TRAFFIC BOWL COMPETITION The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Student Chapter at the University of Washington was honored to attend the 8th Annual Bill Kloos Traffic Bowl in Portland, Oregon, on November 19, 2015. The four member UW ITE team joined the Traffic Bowl competition, which was modeled after the Jeopardy TV show. The UW team competed against teams from the University of Portland, Portland State University, the University of Oregon, Oregon State University, and the Oregon Institute of Technology. The question topics ranged from transportation modeling and the Highway Capacity Manual to transportation related Video Games and actual Jeopardy questions from the show. The UW team took home first place, with UP and PSU winning second and third place, respectively. After some rousing celebration later that night, the UW team joined the rest of the competition participants for tours of the Kittelson & Associates, HDR, and the Oregon DOT traffic management center. The question topics ranged from transportation modeling and the Highway Capacity Manual to transportation related Video Games and actual Jeopardy questions from the show. 24 Pacific Northwest Transportation Consortium
