Program Description: The movement of people and goods is a basic function necessary for the economic, social, and political well-being of all nations. Today's civil engineer is responsible for the planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and administration of various transportation systems. These systems include many different modes such as highway, rail, and transit. The goal of the academic and research programs in transportation engineering is to provide a sound theoretical and practical understanding of transportation engineering systems. Transportation coursework focuses on transport system planning, geometric design, traffic engineering, transportation safety, and the maintenance and operation of transportation facilities. The program also uses a multidisciplinary approach to ensure that students have a broad knowledge base to help solve the wide range of problems that face transportation engineers.
