Transportation Engineering and Planning

The civil engineering major who specializes in transportation engineering and planning learns to identify critical problems in transportation systems and in urban planning, and how to solve these problems. Elective courses that may be of interest to the student deal with traffic control, roadway design, pavement design, airport design, and bridge design. A course in urban planning is also offered for the student to explore the large-scale issues associated with the complexities of metropolitan areas. For those who elect to proceed to the graduate program, the undergraduate program will provide a valuable background to explore the transportation/planning area in greater depth and detail.
