The second masters requires completion of a further 24 points, including any incomplete core units from the second masters degree. The program in transport and traffic is a response to the growing need for engineers with broad awareness of the characteristics and significance of transport, including its technological, economic and social impact. At the same time, the program outlines the state-of-the-art of transport engineering, as it may be applied to the solution of real problems in the planning, design, management and operation of transport facilities. The course is aimed at giving the student a thorough understanding of the nature of transport demand and the role of transport in the modern community, a familiarity with the characteristics of modern transport technology, and an ability to appraise and evaluate solutions to transport problems. To achieve these aims, the development of appropriate analytical skills and practical knowledge is stressed, together with a recognition of the role of other disciplines in tackling transport-related issues. For these reasons, the program will have particular appeal to people with a few years postgraduate experience in transport who wish to have formal education in this field. Engineers working with road, traffic or public transport authorities, or in local government, and people with an interest in transport planning or research will find the course to be of benefit. The postgraduate program in transport and traffic was designed with the assistance of a Department of Civil Engineering advisory committee on transport education. Through this committee, which includes representatives of government departments, local government, research institutions and private firms with an interest in transport, the department is kept abreast of needs and opportunities related to transport education. Entry requirementsParticipants will have a four-year degree in civil engineering, a four-year honours degree in science or applied science or a three-year degree with appropriate postgraduate qualifications. Course structureThe following units are available in transport and traffic:
The seven core units represent 42 points towards the masters degree. The remaining 6 points (one unit) is an elective which can be drawn from other transport and traffic units, infrastructure engineering units or units in the Master of Business Systems.
