INFO FOR TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

Transportation Engineering:  

Transportation Engineering involves not only the design of highways, railroads, and rapid transit systems, but also the design of airports, harbors, waterways, and pipelines.  Transportation Engineers are responsible for designing the structural portions of the systems in question, and analyze them to determine the most effective ways of meeting the needs of the public.  They are also responsible for conserving resources and determining the impacts of a transportation design upon living patterns, land use, and the environment.
