Master of Science in Engineering in Civil Engineering - Transportation Systems Engineering
课程简介
Transportation is integral to the prosperity of our society. However, there are ongoing issues with the existing transportation system: high fatality and injury rates, growing levels of congestion and pollution, rising transportation costs, and inefficient use of resources. Driven by the rapid development of information and vehicular technologies, we are on the cusp of a revolution in transportation on a scale not seen since the introduction of automobiles. For instance, smart mobile devices retrieve users geolocations, enable ubiquitous communications, and allow instant peerto-peer interactions, giving rise to various on-demand mobility services for goods and people such as ridesourcing and ridesharing, as well as crowd-sourced urban delivery. Connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technologies will further revolutionize urban and rural mobility and support a range of uses, from sole vehicle ownership to shared ownership, ridership, and subscription services. These technologies hold the potential to substantially improve traffic safety, facilitate mobility, and reduce traffic congestion, fuel consumption, and emissions.<br><br>The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) offers three Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) degree programs and three Master of Engineering (MEng) degree programs, as well as multiple options for dual degrees in collaboration with other programs at the university. The MSE programs require 30 credit hours of graduate work (typically 10 courses) and include an optional thesis or major research project. The MEng programs require 26 credit hours of graduate work (typically 8 courses and 2 seminars) and do not require a thesis or other major research project.
