Dr. Grant G. Schultz, professor of Civil and Construction Engineering at BYU, will present the 2023 Phi Kappa Phi Distinguished Faculty Lecture. The title of Dr. Schultz’s lecture is It’s All About the One.
Lecture description: In his 2014 and 2022 annual university conference addresses, President Kevin J. Worthen stated, “At the end of the day, students are the product we produce . . . How they turn out—what they do and, more important, who they are—is the ultimate metric by which our work will be measured.” Join me as I review the amazing accomplishments of some of my students and discuss how the love of learning has helped instill in them a desire “to go forth to serve.”
Dr. Schultz conducts research in traffic operations, traffic safety, incident management, connected vehicle technologies, and access management. He is a member of the Transportation Research Board’s Standing Committee on Safety Performance and Analysis and is Chair of the TRB Standing Committee on Access Management..
