The Major in Transportation Systems Engineering

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, professional registration,  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 complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
2. an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
