Introduction: Welcome to the curriculum for Transportation Engineering Specialization. This


specialization course is taught in Boot camp mode. Boot camps are 12 weeks, intense learning sessions
designed to prepare you for the practical world – ready for either industry or becoming an entrepreneur.
You will be assisted through the course, with development-based assessments to enable progressive
learning. In this course, you’ll learn to investigate, plan, analyze, design, execute, and maintain
Transportation systems.
Leading to the successful completion of this boot camp, you shall be equipped to either do an internship at
an organization working in Transportation Engineering related industry or do a project on Transportation
Engineering.

After the completion of your Diploma, you shall be ready to take up roles like Junior Engineer, Transport
Planning Data Surveyor, Designer, Entrepreneur, Consultant, Contractor, Road Safety Auditor or can work
or have your own Consultancy Services for Material Testing, Planning, Construction and Management of
Transportation facility.

This course will teach you Fundamentals of data collection, data analysis, forecasting, design,
drafting, evaluation, estimating and costing, Construction, management and maintenance of different
components of Transportation System. Details of the curriculum is presented in the sections below.

Transportation engineering is the application of technology and scientific principles to the planning,

functional design, construction, operation, maintenance and management of facilities for any mode of

transportation in order to provide safe, efficient, rapid, comfortable, convenient, economical, and environmentally

compatible movement of people and goods with respect to time and space.
Diploma in Civil Engineering 2020-21 C20

The facilities support Surface ( Road and Railways), air and water transportation. The design aspects of

transportation engineering include the sizing of transportation facilities how many lanes or how much capacity the

facility has, determining the materials and thickness used in pavement, designing the geometry (vertical and

horizontal alignment) of the roadway or track. Operations and management involve traffic engineering, so that

vehicles move smoothly on the road or track, transportation Structures like Bridges, Tunnels, Retaining Walls,

Flyover and Underpasses. Transportation engineering emphasizes on Road safety and assess environmental and

health impacts.
