Membership & Courses are FREE
There is absolutely no cost for your university to become a CITE member. By joining CITE, your institution will also have FREE access to all courses developed through CITE. CITE is continually seeking new university memberships, both nationally and internationally, to increase the geographical span of graduate level ITS course offerings and thus add to the number of ITS trained college students entering the work force. How to become a Partner>

FREE Technical Assistance
CITE will train one university representative on the procedures and techniques for administering courses. CITE is also developing a "Course User's Manual" for CITE partners. It describes alternative instructional techniques currently being used by CITE members, such as, hybrid instruction in which CITE and classroom course modules are alternated. All members offering CITE's courses will be forwarded a copy upon its completion.

Networking Opportunities
Join a growing network of more than 70 other prestigious universities worldwide who are partnering in this program and reaping the benefits. University Partners have the opportunity to interact with other institutions interested in providing ITS instruction. As an easy way to exchange ITS-related Training and Education information, CITE has established an e-mail group for its partners. Participants have direct e-mail access to their peers and can ask questions about information needed or provide advice to others.

Flexible and Easily Accessible
All of CITE's courses have been developed using an interactive web-based format. Web-based training is a form of distance learning and means CITE's courses are all available via the Internet, accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Interactivity in the courses is provided through a stimulating mix of participatory activities, such as simulations, self-study quizzes, drag-and-drop pages, crossword puzzles, and jeopardy games. These activities help support and reinforce the text-based information and keep students engaged and active in the learning process.

Constantly Expanding Curriculum
CITE has a total of 34 courses available. This number includes two
semester-long courses, 25 individual short courses, and five
Spanish-language courses. CITE's current curriculum includes courses in
Information Technology, Traffic Engineering, Project Management and
Systems Engineering.

Assist in Course Development
All of CITE's courses have been and will continue to be developed by faculty members from its University Partners. As a partner, you can help create a future course curriculum.

"At universities with small graduate programs... [CITE] allowed us to offer a course that goes beyond the expertise of our faculty, and is cost effective."
