Seminars and Courses
C E 355: Principles of Transportation Engineering
This undergraduate course serves as an introduction to the planning, design, and operations of transportation facilities. Other topics include asset management, transportation planning, capacity analysis, traffic control, geometric design, and traffic safety. As a “flipped” course, the traditional lecture content is provided through video lectures while outside-of-classroom content (like homework) is brought into the classroom as practical, hands-on problems.
