'''Fred Mannering''' is an American engineering professor who is most known for the development and application of statistical and econometric methods to study highway safety, economics, travel behavior, and a variety of engineering-related problems.

== Early life and education == Mannering was born in 1954 (November) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He attended suburban Pittsburgh's South Fayette High School, received his B.S. degree in engineering from the University of Saskatchewan, M.S. degree from Purdue University, and Ph.D. in engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where his doctoral committee consisted of Clifford Winston (advisor), Daniel McFadden (Nobel Prize laureate in Economics in 2000) and Ann Fetter Friedlaender.

== Career == Mannering is currently a professor of civil and environmental engineering (with a courtesy appointment in economics) and executive director of the [https://www.cutr.usf.edu/ Center for Urban Transportation Research] at the University of South Florida. He previously held academic positions as head of civil engineering and later as the Charles Pankow Professor at Purdue University. Prior to joining Purdue University, he was a professor and chair of civil and environmental engineering<ref>{{Cite web|last=Daily|first=The|title=Department chair, engineer and head-banger|url=http://www.dailyuw.com/news/article_16bcea1a-8505-5114-9312-f132ddddb3f7.html|access-date=2020-08-13|website=The Daily of the University of Washington|date=20 October 1997 |language=en}}</ref> at the University of Washington and an assistant professor at the Pennsylvania State University.

Mannering has received numerous awards in his discipline. In 2005 he won the Wilbur S. Smith Award,<ref>{{Cite web|title=Wilbur S.
