Seminar focusing on student research and guest presentation of various topics of interest to graduate transportation engineering students.

Students are introduced to the concepts, theories, and methods of transportation terminals, transportation economics, urban transportation, logistics, and transportation techniques applied in transportation analysis, such as network analysis, gravity systems in transportation studies.

This course will provide students with an understanding of the basic principles and techniques of highway design. This will include laying out potential routes, design of the alignment and intersections, and evaluation of earthwork requirements. The student should be able to understand and apply these principles to highway design problems. The student should also be able to use existing computer tools to generate and analyze designs.
