Welcome to the 98th Annual Purdue Road School
The 2012 Purdue Road School builds upon a rich tradition
established by our predecessors dating to Professor W.K. Hatt’s
efforts to organize a Civil Engineering conference in 1913. This
year’s program has 124 Sessions organized in 24 tracks that
were developed in collaboration with colleagues throughout the
industry. We are pleased not only by the technical content that
has been developed, but also by the rich history of the Purdue
Road School. Many of you helped shape much of the signature
Indiana transportation infrastructure or were personal friends of
the previous Purdue Road School leaders. As you page through
this outstanding technical program, please take a moment to read
a brief summary of the Purdue Road School history as well as
reflect on the contributions of our predecessors in building the
transportation infrastructure and defining the Purdue Road School
that serves Indiana today.

In January 1913 the head of Purdue’s Civil Engineering School, Prof. W.K. Hatt, initiated the Civil Engineering Conference to support county surveyors and city engineers in their development and maintenance of Indiana’s system of roads and streets. At a subsequent Civil Engineering Conference in 1914, a resolution was passed calling for a state statute requiring a yearly School of Good Roads to be “the official school of instruction and meeting of County Road Superintendents”. (That resolution became law in 1921.) In 1915 the Civil Engineering Conference was renamed the Purdue Road School. This brochure shows the 2012 Purdue Road School as the 98th, based on the 1915 adoption of the name, but it is actually the 100th road conference at Purdue.
Adapted from remarks prepared by Harold Michael in 1987.

Road School History

The Purdue Road School is a great Indiana tradition that brings together state officials, local professionals, industry, consultants, academia and elected officials. Over the last three years you have seen the introduction of “Tracks” that are focused on both traditional topics such as pavements and bridges, as well as timely topics such as the 2012 Super Bowl. Behind the scenes a substantial number of volunteers and professionals are involved in developing the technical program and coordinating the logistics. The names of those individuals serving on the Administrative Committee and Track Leader Committee are listed on page 7.
The Purdue Road School Administrative Committee works closely with the Purdue Extended Campus Conference Division on the event planning logistics and production of the program. They are responsible for coordinating behind the scenes activities ranging from the on-line registration software to the production of the conference agenda.
The Purdue Road School Track Leader Committee develops and shape the technical content of the Purdue Road School Program which includes 124 Sessions organized in 24 tracks. We would like to increase membership in the Track Leader Committee to broaden the participation of stakeholders and increase our peer-review of the program during the development stage. If you would like to volunteer to participate in the development of 2013 Purdue Road School Program, please send email to [email protected] with your contact information.

Purdue E-Pubs
In 2011, Purdue University e-Pubs began digitally archiving presentations from Road School. You may access presentations made available by 2011 Road School presenters at this site: http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/roadschool/
2012 Road School presenters will again have the opportunity to archive their presentations from this year’s event. We hope you will find the archived presentations a valuable resource after Road School is concluded.
PDH/CEU
Professional Development Hours (PDH)/Continuing Education Units (CEU) are available for many sessions. PDH/CUE’s are a standardized, nationwide method of recognition for participation in approved, noncredit educational activities. Attendance at the entire session is required for credit. Details regarding PDH/CEU eligibility are provided with the session descriptions.
In order to register for PDH/CEU credit you must have a name badge. A bar code on your name badge will be scanned as you enter each eligible session. The PDH/CEU that you obtain at this conference will be registered with Purdue University Extended Campus free of charge. To obtain a transcript, you may request one for a fee of $6. A PDH/CEU help desk will be available during the conference for those who have questions or who wish to purchase a transcript.
Please note: Recordkeeping for your PDH/CEU requirements is your responsibility. You MUST have your name badge scanned for the PDH/CEU to be registered with Purdue University. Purdue will not be able to provide verification of your attendance at a later date if you did not scan your badge for each session attended. No PDH/CEU credit will be awarded once the conference has ended.
