What it says it does
The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) is an international educational and scientific association of transportation professionals who are responsible for meeting mobility and safety needs. Nationally, the ITE facilitates the application of technology and scientific principles to research, planning, functional design, implementation, operation, policy development, and management for any mode of ground transportation. The UNLV ITE student chapter aims to promote transportation knowledge of its members, helps them learn about the recent designs and technologies in the related fields, encourages education, and serves as a conduit for the exchange of professional information. This chapter utilizes scientific knowledge derived from engineering principles, provided within the education curriculum afforded by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, an ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) accredited engineering school.

Programs described in its return (1)
- The UNLV Student Chapter was awarded the Mountain District Student Chapter Monument award for 2023-2024. Approximately 25 events were hosted for UNLV students including several Transportation Seminars, Office Tours and Technical Tours, and Professional Development and Networking Events. The Transportation Seminars presented guest speakers in various transportation engineering subdisciplines to the students and answered questions pertaining to their respective industries. Office Tours and Technical Tours offered students the ability to learn more about private and public entities hiring internship positions, as well as provided technical engineering information pertaining to geotechnical engineering and tunnels, traffic signal optimization and operations, and computer science related programming capabilities of autonomous vehicles. Professional development and networking events focused on introducing students to established engineers in both the public and private sectors. All of these events were offered to the students as a means to expand their scientific and educational knowledge, in conjunction with that provided by their education at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Howard Hughes College of Engineering Department.
