What Is Transportation Engineering?

Transportation engineering is a branch of civil engineering and is crucially described as applying technology and principles of science to plan, operate, create functional designs and manage facilities that are related to any mode of transportation. It is the application of technology to provide the safe, efficient, rapid, comfortable, convenient, environmentally consistent movement of people and goods transport.

What Does a Transportation Engineer Graduates Do?

  Transportation engineers mainly involve planning design, construction, maintenance and operation of transportation facilities that support air, highway, railroad, pipeline, water and space transportation. They sketch the designs and improves transportation systems to allow safe traffic flow on roadways, airplanes, trains, ships, buses, etc. They plan modifications of existing streets, highways, or freeways to improve traffic flow. They analyze data, identify problems, and solve them with innovative solutions.”In which field do they work? What do they do?” They may also be required to associate with other parties on certain projects including utility companies and government departments.
