COURSE OVERVIEW:
Transport Engineering is the application of technology and scientific principles to the planning, functional
design, operation and management of facilities for any mode of transportation in order to provide for the
safe, efficient, rapid, comfortable, convenient, economical, and environmentally compatible movement of
people and goods .Transportation engineering is a major component of the civil engineering and
mechanical engineering disciplines, according to specialization of academic courses and main competences
of the involved territory. The importance of transportation engineering within the civil and industrial
engineering profession can be judged by the number of divisions in American Society of Civil Engineers,
which are directly related to transportation.
