Transportation & Urban Infrastructure Studies (TUIS)
Bachelor of Science (BS), Transportation Systems Engineering
Overview
The Bachelor of Science degree in Transportation Systems Engineering is designed to accelerate the production of diverse, well-trained transportation professionals who are skilled in the field of transportation engineering, exposed to the related fields of planning, management, and logistics, and capable of pursuing senior-level positions by having the skills necessary to obtain professional licensure. It is the only program of its kind in the country. The University is the only known institution nationwide with an academic transportation department offering three degrees (B.S., M.S., and Ph.D.) in transportation.The Bachelor of Science degree in Transportation Systems provides a non-engineering option for students interested in pursuing a career in transportation planning, management, and logistics. You will utilize mathematics, science, technological tools, and principles of engineering, planning, and management to solve complex transportation-related problems. The curriculum offers a broad foundation in planning, engineering, economics, management, and logistics to prepare you for a career in related transportation fields.
Program Objectives
The program graduate will be able to:
- Utilize systems engineering approach to articulate, study, and mitigate transportation problems
- Apply latest technology and sustainability paradigm to efficiently plan, design, implement, analyze, evaluate, and manage components of the transportation systems
- Utilize effective communication, team leadership, and total quality managements skills to work productively within their professions and communities
- Pursue professional development and advanced studies to meet the emerging and evolving demands, and increasing responsibilities of a successful career
- Conduct themselves as responsible engineering professionals and citizens
Student Outcomes
The program graduates will be able to demonstrate:
- An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
- An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
- An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
- An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
