M.Tech in Transportation Engineering and Management(M.Tech.)

Civil Engineering primarily deals with the planning, design, construction, and operation of infrastructural facilities essential to modern life, ranging from transit systems to offshore structures to space satellites. Major disciplines within civil engineering that are closely interrelated are structural, environmental, geotechnical, water resources, transportation, construction and urban planning.

Transportation Engineering is one of the major branches of Civil Engineering and it involves the planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of transportation facilities. The facilities support air, highway, railroad, pipeline, water, and even space transportation. Transportation engineering includes sizing of transportation facilities, selection of materials and design of pavement and geometry of roadway.

In transportation engineering, students acquire advanced know-how concerning the planning, design, operations, performance, evaluation, maintenance and rehabilitation of transportation systems including their economics and social aspects.

The M.Tech. in Transportation Engineering and Management is a postgraduate programme to nurture motivated, innovative, creative thinking graduates to fill the roles of transportation engineers and managers who can conceptualise, design, analyse, develop and manage transportation systems to meet modern-day requirements.
