  • MICHAEL H SCHRADER

    Michael H Schrader received his B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Missouri-Columbia in December 1987, and his M.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Tennessee in May 1990.  He has worked as a traffic engineer for Springfield, Illinois, Little Rock, Arkansas,  Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Metroplan, the Metropolitan Planning Organization for Central Arkansas, and as the City Traffic Engineer for Charleston, West Virginia.  He served as the Public Works Director of Cabot, Arkansas, and Balch Springs, Texas, and the Transportation Planner for Dallas County, Texas.  He has also been a private consultant, specializing in structures, hydraulics and hydrology, and traffic engineering.  He is a registered P.E. in Arkansas, Illinois, Missouri, and Oklahoma, and obrtained his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering with a transportation emphasis at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, where he served as adjunct faculty.  He is now a member of the faculty of Minnesota State University, Mankato, specializing in transportation.
