Presentation transcript:

A Transportation Engineering Curriculum for the Future

Background Basis for my remarks –Over 20 years of involvement in engineering education as a short course developer and a university classroom instructor –Over 10 years as a university faculty member/academic administrator Academic officer (undergraduate and graduate) ABET review coordinator –Past chair of the ITE Education Council

Traditional Civil Engineer Construction Environmental Geotechnical Hydrology/Hydraulics Materials Structures Surveying and Mapping Transportation

Typical Transportation Engineer Design (Highway) Operations (Highway) Planning (Car/Truck/Transit?) Other Modes? (Peds? Bikes? Transit?) Other Operating Schemes? (ITS? Supply Chain Management?)

Engineering Knowledge Gaps Users –Needs, Wants, and Desires –Capabilities and Limitations Vehicles –Capabilities and Limitations Operating Environment –Weather/Surface Conditions –Lighting

Beyond Tradition Mechanical Engineering Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering Computer Science Industrial Engineering Supply Chain Management

Business Requirements Speaking Writing Working on a team Resolving conflicts Handling the media Managing resources (e.g. budgets, personnel, facilities, equipment, etc.)

Transportation Engineer of the Future 1 Construction ---> Facilities Management Environmental Geotechnical Hydrology/Hydraulics Materials Structures Surveying and Mapping Transportation

Transportation Engineer of the Future 2 Planning, Design, and Operations Peds Bikes Cars Trucks Buses Rail Transit Streets/Highways Fixed Guideway Air Water Pipelines Telecommunications

Transportation Engineer of the Future 3 Machine design Tribology/meteorology Command, control, communications, and intelligence (C3I) Lighting Operations research Human factors/ergonomics Supply chain management

Transportation Engineer of the Future 4 Speech communications Technical writing Human resource management Media relations Mediation Marketing

Transportation Engineer of the Future 5 5th Semester –Transportation Systems Engineering –Contemporary Skills for Business Professionals –Supply Chain Management –Human Factors Engineering –Mechanical Systems Design

Transportation Engineer of the Future 6 6th Semester –Highway Engineering –Transportation Planning –Urban Transportation –Vehicle Road Dynamics –Automatic Control Systems

Transportation Engineer of the Future 7 7th Semester –Traffic Operations –Introduction to Operations Research –Introduction to Embedded Microcontrollers –Non-Motorized Transportation –Introduction to Air, Rail, and Water Transport

Transportation Engineer of the Future 8 8th Semester –Transportation Design –Fundamentals of Computer Vision –Fundamentals of Air Pollution –Computer Aided Lighting Design and Analysis –Management and Organization

Transportation Engineer of the Future 9 Can we train everyone in everything? Role of the technical specialist Role of the generalist/system integrator

Summary In the future, transportation engineers with a traditional civil engineering background won’t be able to “cut it” in the transportation profession. We need to change how we educate, train, and maintain the competency of transportation engineers.
