PBIC has updated the Pedestrian and Bicycle Transportation Short Series, which is designed to augment undergraduate courses in basic civil engineering and\/or transportation planning. The course materials now include up-to-date presentation slides for three 50-minute lectures, four assignments, and a reading\/resource list. Webinar speakers will discuss why entry-level transportation professionals need experience planning and designing for all modes and how the updated course materials may be used and adapted for different university courses.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EPresenters include:\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EMike Flynn, Director of Active Transportation, Sam Schwartz Engineering\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003ECarl Sundstrom, Engineering Research Associate, UNC Highway Safety Research Center\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EDr. Kari E.
