Master of Engineering (MEng/MSc) in Transportation Engineering

About

Graduate programs leading to M.Eng., and M.S. degrees in Transportation Engineering. The selection of a graduate program and degree is based on student interest, the area of graduate concentration, and the satisfaction of prerequisites. Rensselaer's transportation contributes to the fight against climate change by conducting research on how to plan and operate transportation systems in a more efficient manner. The transportation department also works on planning, design, analysis, maintenance, and operation of transportation systems and facilities; applications of data science to transportation operations and planning, user behavior, freight transportation management, planning, and modeling; sustainable freight policy; disaster response logistics; multi-modal transportation systems and micro-mobility in the context of passenger travel and freight and service delivery; intelligent transportation systems, freight transportation systems, connected vehicle systems, and transit systems; real-time, multi-objective network management and control, including route guidance, scheduling, parking management, signal control, and dynamic traffic assignment.
