Transportation Engineering
The program aims at preparing students for positions in industry, government, and future Ph.D. studies by equipping them with analytical, practical, and technical skills which will be instrumental in serving the current and future technologies, research, and innovation in Transportation Engineering. The curriculum was designed by the faculty who works closely with the transportation professionals to ensure that all necessary transportation aspects are covered in it. The courses in the curriculum provide the knowledge and skill set in topics like Intelligent transportation systems, Road safety engineering, travel demand modelling, traffic operations, freight transportation, and transportation data analytics. Students also get hands-on experience in particular areas like Vehicle and pedestrian simulation, Highway design, transportation systems planning, etc.
About the Program
The M.Tech. in Transportation Engineering offered by the Department of Civil Engineering at Mahindra University comprises thirteen teaching course units worth 47 credits (including practical components) and a thesis worth 15 credits out of a total of 62 credits. The teaching courses will cover fundamental and advanced aspects of theoretical and practical orientation of transportation. All traditional course contents are upgraded and introduced new courses as per industry needs. Most of the courses are embedded with the laboratory which provides the students with hands-on experience which makes them to confident while solving real-world problems. Another highlight of this course is students can choose the internship period (depending on the requirements and student interests) of 8-12 weeks/6 months/one year, which will enhance the student’s understanding of practical problems.
The uniqueness of the curriculum is the strong emphasis on Transportation Systems and their modelling along with the conventional transportation courses and laboratories (both computational and experimental), interdisciplinary elective courses, and programming and software skills required for industrial applications. The students are trained in various popular transportation software which makes them industry ready. Electives can be chosen from a wide variety of options across various departments of the University. Overall, the course content is designed to suit the industry needs of the transportation engineering profession.
