BE Transportation Engineering

Bachelor of Engineering in Transportation Engineering

BE Transportation Engineering or Bachelor of Engineering in Transportation Engineering is an Under-Graduate Civil Engineering course. Transportation Engineering is the science of safe and efficient movement of people and goods. Transport Engineering focuses on all aspects of the planning, design, operation, and management of urban planning when it comes to air, road, and rail travel as well as safe and adequate provision for pedestrians and alternative modes of transport subjects such as physics, mathematics, and chemistry.

The Bachelor of Engineering degree program in Transportation Engineering focuses on planning, designing, and supervising the construction of facilities required for modern life. They design and maintain all types of transportation facilities, including Highways and streets, Mass transit systems, Railroads, Airfields, Ports, and harbors. The Transportation Engineering course is four years in duration.
