Transport Engineering Major

As well as being a fully trained Civil engineer, the Transport major extends your skills to incorporate planning, design, operation and management of infrastructure to achieve safe, economical, and environmentally sustainable movement of people and goods. The major in transport engineering covers traditional mathematical and engineering methods, and also considers multidisciplinary issues such as environmental and social impact, economics, and public policy.

Knowledge of transport issues is of great benefit to graduates in any broad engineering professional situation. Graduates with a transport major are expected to work in the planning, design, construction, management or operation of road, rail, air or sea infrastructure and systems anywhere in the world.

This major best aligns with the Civil stream.
