Integrated Project in Transportation Engineering

Course Description:

Integrated design of an integrated transportation project, preferably existing, by a group of 5 students. The topic is chosen according to the students’ orientation and is supervised by a faculty member, through weekly meetings during the teaching hours. Within the framework of the integrated design, a project topic is formulated; in addition, design drawings, technical reports and calculation documents are produced.

Prerequisite Knowledge

Basic Knowledge about the courses of the Department of Transportation Planning and Engineering
