Graduate Program in Civil Engineering

Transportation Engineering

The transportation engineering graduate program at Michigan Tech emphasizes the aspects of transportation materials and rural transportation issues.

Transportation engineering is a diverse field and involves several specialty areas. Exciting opportunities are available for students to develop a program in transportation materials, pavement design and rehabilitation, or rural transportation issues. Students may also take courses or pursue research in other transportation related areas such as highway and airport planning and design, construction, and environmental engineering.

The graduate program draws on the expertise and experience of the faculty. Basic transportation engineering principles are applied in course work, and research may be focused on several areas including:

pavement design and rehabilitation pavement management systems cold regions engineering airport planning and design highway engineering railroad engineering traffic safety transportation materials transportation planning

Research in the transportation area is often conducted in coordination with the Michigan Technological University Transportation Center.
