History of the Intermountain Section Scholarship
Ellis L. Mathes, P.E., was a pioneer of District 6 (Western District) and the Intermountain Section and remained active in ITE until his death. Even though he had significant physical disability, he attended meetings and had a friendly smile. He was typical of traffic engineers in his willingness to encourage young engineers and share his knowledge and ideas with the profession. In memory of his contributions to the traffic engineering profession, the Intermountain Section Scholarship was names in his honor in 1996, and has been awarded to deserving students pursuing studies in transportation engineering with this scholarship at the annual meeting in Jackson, Wyoming.
