8. Conclusion The challenges of the transportation field continue and expand and the New Transportation Faculty — the I-Beam-Shaped New Transportation Faculty — has a special role therein in integrating knowledge, innovating, and effectively instructing the T-shaped New Transportation Professional. But the challenges and opportunities are broader. Consider transportation as a special case of CLIOS and the special advantage the New Transportation Faculty has, given the inherently integrative nature of its intellectual approach and its track record in establishing how this integrated approach can impact the important societal domain of transportation. The future role of the New Transportation Faculty can include an engineering systems attack on societal issues using the CLIOS construct. This positions faculty members to make important broader contributions to society and provides an intellectual growth path within academia, one that is in total concert with the new post-Cold War mission of the university for relevant, shorter timeframe approaches to important societal and industry problems. Nor is the transportation field disadvantaged by this. The intellectual stimulation for the “New Transportation Faculty” can only make approaches to the core issues of transportation more effective.
