The transportation engineering graduate program at Michigan Tech emphasizes the aspects of transportation materials and rural transportation issues.
Transportation engineering is a diverse field and involves several specialty areas.
Exciting opportunities are available for students to develop a program in transportation materials, pavement design and rehabilitation, or rural transportation issues. Students may also take courses or pursue research in other transportation related areas such as highway and airport planning and design, construction, and environmental engineering. The graduate program draws on the expertise and experience of the faculty. Faculty and students have developed research programs in a wide variety of topics. Many of these programs and graduate student research assistantships are supported by government and industrial grants and contracts.
