The overarching aim of the course is to develop graduates who are characterised by their ability to develop appropriate solutions to engineering and transportation challenges by using new or existing technologies, through innovation, creativity and change. By undertaking the course, you will be exposed to a number of subject areas that underpin the practices of modern civil and transportation professionals. These include amongst other, traffic engineering, transport planning, design of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and use of simulation and modelling software tools. In addition, you will cover all the fundamental disciplines of civil engineering for the development of a skills portfolio that will equip you to seek a professional career with duties related to the design, management and construction of major infrastructure projects. Such projects are dams, reservoirs, highways, urban transport schemes, bridges, major buildings, flood defences, water supply, sewage treatment, harbours and sea defences. Finally, the BEng (Hons) Transportation Engineering course is intended as your first step towards becoming an Incorporated Civil Engineer and a practitioner in the global community.
Transportation engineering is all about creating, improving and protecting the built environment. Civil and transportation engineers contribute to the design and build of infrastructure that is sustainable and that provides the facilities for day-to-day life of individuals.
They carry out impact assessment and undertake sustainability and feasibility studies to safeguard the sustainability of projects.
There are many significant employment opportunities in civil and transportation engineering with graduates working for contractors, consultants, local authorities, government and public bodies, the armed forces, and academic and research establishments.
Transportation engineering also offers opportunities to work both on a national and international basis on a variety of exciting environmental and infrastructure projects. Graduates may wish to continue their studies at Masters or Doctorate level. This may either be in a technical context or a more broadening context such as project management or construction law.
The BEng (Hons) Transportation Engineering provides a sound basis from which to develop a career, and progress to Incorporated Engineer (IEng) with further experience, or Chartered Engineer (CEng) status with appropriate further learning and experience.
Transport engineering modules relate to traffic engineering and transport systems design. Transport planning modules consider policy (such as reducing car dependency), travel demand forecasting and appraisal. If you have a civil engineering background you can elect to take an optional module in transport infrastructure design as an alternative to the extended modelling and appraisal work.
The course is supported by field surveys, seminars and studio work, allowing students to experience a range of relevant computer packages and methodological approaches.
You are also required to produce a dissertation with the close supervision of an expert academic member of staff.
This course may be taken on a full-time or part-time basis. The part-time course enables candidates who would not normally be able to obtain a year’s release from employment to also study in depth and is used by some employers as part of their formal graduate training programme.
