The Major in Transportation Systems Engineering

All students pursuing the B.S. degree program in Transportation Systems (TS) are required to earn a minimum of 120 credit hours of coursework, which includes 42 credit hours in general education courses, 14 credit hours in mathematics and science, 53 credit hours in core courses, 2 credit hours in University requirements, and 9 credit hours in track electives.  The core courses expose the students to the major transportation concentration areas, including planning, engineering, rail transportation, economics, management, and logistics.

Objectives

Within 3 to 5 years of earning their degrees, graduates are expected to have:

• Demonstrated success as a transportation professional working productively and ethically in the profession and community. 
• Advanced career by demonstrating leadership skills, subject mastery, and the application of emerging technology along with social and environmental responsibility. 
• Pursued professional development or advanced studies to meet the emerging and evolving demands, and increasing responsibilities of a successful career

 

Program Outcomes

By the time of graduation, students will have demonstrated:

1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve broadly-defined technical or scientific problems by applying knowledge of mathematics and science and/or technical topics to areas relevant to the discipline.
2. An ability to formulate or design a system, process, procedure or program to meet desired needs.
3.  An ability to develop and conduct experiments or test hypotheses, analyze and interpret data and use scientific judgment to draw conclusions.
4. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
5. An ability to understand ethical and professional responsibilities and the impact of technical and/or scientific solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
