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.
