The Advanced Transportation Engineering (ATE) certificate will provide our students with the opportunity to develop an enhanced understanding of the transportation engineering field. The goal is to prepare them to practice in this more specialized field.
This program prepares individuals to apply mathematical and scientific principles to the design, development and operational evaluation of total systems for the physical movement of people, materials and information, including general network design and planning, facilities planning, site evaluation, transportation management systems, needs projections and analysis, and analysis of costs.
The certificate requires that students take four-3 unit courses (12 units) from an approved list of courses in the area of Transportation engineering in the CEEM department. Students must earn a GPA of 3.0 in these courses.
Civil and Architectural Engineering and Mechanics
The department offers programs leading to the Master of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees with a major in Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics. Work is directed toward research and professional development in such areas as engineering mechanics, engineering materials, highway engineering, hydraulics and fluid mechanics, geomechanics, geo-technical engineering, water resources, structural engineering, and transportation engineering. Certain interdisciplinary options such as regional development and urban planning, and environmental engineering are available by combining various areas of the program with programs in other departments. For further information concerning these options, see the College of Engineering web site.
The department also offers a degree in Master of Science, Masters of Engineering, an Accelerated Masters Degree in both MS and ME degrees and has three certificate programs; Advance Transportation, Geoengineering and Hydraulics and Water Resources Engineering.
