运输工程学是人和货物（运输）安全高效运输的科学。运输工程的规划方面涉及城市规划，涉及技术预测决策和政治因素。乘客出行的技术预测通常涉及城市交通规划模型，需要估计出行次数（出于什么目的需要出多少次出行），出行分布（目的地选择，旅行者去向），模式选择（采用哪种模式） ，以及路线分配（正在使用的街道或路线）。更复杂的预测可以包括旅行者决策的其他方面，包括汽车所有权，行程链接（将旅行中的各个旅程链接在一起的决策）以及住宅或商业地点的选择（称为土地使用预测）。尽管旅客旅行通常是运输工程的主要重点，因为这通常代表着任
The field of Civil and Environmental Engineering represents challenging and rewarding professions that serve the needs of the public at all levels from locally to internationally. Our graduates practice in local, state and government agencies, small, medium and large consulting firms both domestic and internationally to launch careers in fields such as law, medicine and venture capitalism.<br><br>Each graduate student works out an individual degree plan with their advisor tailored to their needs. There are six academic areas to choose from. The degree requires the completion of at least 30 credit hours beyond the bachelor's degree, including a research thesis for which no more than six credit hours may be granted. The non-thesis option (32 credit hours) may be permitted at the discretion of the student's advisory committee.
