Objectives:

Facing with a great demand for developing modern transportation, the main task of the transportation engineering featuring “engineering +management” aims to cultivate future inter-disciplinary creative graduates who are: excelling in all aspects including ethics, intellect, physique, aesthetic and labor; possessing a wealth of cultural and scientific knowledge as well as social responsibility awareness; skilled at engineering application and innovative practice; systematically mastering transportation engineering theories, expertise, engineering technique, and innovative methods. The students who study at transportation engineering are expected to have full knowledge of mathematics, natural science, foreign language, computer science as well as being good at cooperating and communicating with other people. Moreover, the students are familiar with the frontier knowledge and developing trend of the transportation engineering discipline so that they are qualified for the professional jobs related to project planning, design, construction, developing, operation, and management of transportation field. When the students graduate around five years , they should have the ability to be responsible for the technical or management work of professional projects.

Curriculum:

The public basic courses mainly include Advanced Mathematics, Linear Algebra, Probability and Mathematical Statistics, College Physics, College English, C Language Programming Foundation, etc. The professional courses are taught by full-time teachers from the College of Metropolitan Transportation. The teaching resources are fully utilized including the support from the relevant disciplines, top experts in the field of Transportation Engineering, and high-level talents.
