Transportation Engineering


Why Transportation Engineering

Transportation Engineering is a part of Civil Engineering. It is also known as Transport Engineering.

  • Civil engineering is the broadest and one of the oldest fields of engineering and M.Tech in Transportation Engineering is a specialization within the Civil Engineering program.
  • M.Tech. in Transportation Engineering course is an ideal advanced course for Civil Engineering graduates.
  • Transportation Engineering can be further subdivided into six categories they are, aerospace, air transport, highway, pipeline, waterway, urban transportation
  • The M.Tech Transportation Engineering syllabus and subjects of this course have been mindfully designated keeping in mind the demand of the transportation market.
  • The goal of this degree program is to provide both engineering and management aspects of transportation systems with emphasis on road transportation.
  • This program emphasizes the use of CAD in transportation engineering as well as on the use of GIS in the engineering aspects.
  • In this course students will also be introduced with the modern tools which are in the industry.
  • This course of transportation engineering covers subjects such as Highway Materials, Ground Improvement Techniques, Pavement Analysis & Design, Pavement Evaluation & Management Systems, Geometric Design of Highways, Traffic Engineering etc.

Why Study M.Tech Transportation engineering course?

You should consider studying M.Tech Transportation engineering course because of the following advantages:

  • M.Tech. (Transportation Engineering) course provides the candidate a good base for higher degree programs in respective subjects such as research work.
  • After the completion of this degree course the students can join private institutes and after clearing NET exam, they can join the colleges/universities on a permanent basis.
  • Acquiring an M.Tech in Transportation Engineering degree equips a student not only with a sound engineering knowledge but also very good supervisory and administrative skills.
  • As there will always be the requirement of construction of new building structures so the civil engineers will always be needed to construct those and maintain and repair existing facilities and structures. So, the demand for a civil engineer is never-ending.
  • M.Tech in Transportation Engineering degree holders can find employment as a supervisor on a construction site as well a managerial position or also a position in design.
  • M.Tech in Transportation Engineering degree holders can also engage them in research as well as teach faculty in government and private services and institutes. They can also work as independent consultants.
