What is Transportation and Infrastructure Materials Engineering?

The Transportation and Infrastructure Materials Engineering Track to fulfill the BS in Civil Engineering degree emphasizes specialized coursework in the sub-specialties of transportation and infrastructure materials engineering.

Transportation engineers are involved with the safe and efficient movement of both people and goods. Infrastructure materials engineers develop, source, test and assess the materials used in our community’s infrastructure. This includes the planning, design, and operations of transportation facilities along with the design, construction, and maintenance of transportation infrastructure.

The track is appropriate for those wishing to pursue careers in engineering related to the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of various elements of the transportation system, including roads, rail, transit, and aviation.
