There are many clubs at Brigham Young University, but few students get the chance to take their work to the skies.

BYU civil engineering students and faculty won several awards from the 2020 Institute of Transportation Engineers Mountain District Conference. Students Logan Bennett, Camille Lunt and Bruce Wang won first place in the Traffic Bowl, a quiz challenging what students know about transportation engineering. The team of Natalie Gray, Sami Lau and Bruce Wang placed first in the Kell Competition, a competition to see who can create the most creative travel route using different types of transportation. Logan Bennett, Justin Hunter and Camille Lunt placed second in the Kell Competition. Awards also went to individuals, including the Outstanding Educator Award for professor Grant Schultz, Outstanding Undergraduate Award for Logan Bennett, and Outstanding Graduate award for Camille Lunt.

Thomson Reuters recently gave BYU professor Michael Scott the distinction of highly cited researcher. Scott accomplished this in only four years as a BYU professor. (Marcos Escalona)
