The Department
This Department was established in 1986, with the aim of training students to become transportation professionals in highway, railway, marine, aviation, and urban transportation in order to fill the needs of national infrastructure, construction and economic development. Moreover, to help train advanced experts capable of conducting independent research and decision making for transportation industry circles as well as the related industries, a graduate program in transportation science was established in 1995 and has since recruited qualified candidates.
Course design for junior classes focuses on fundamental transportation courses as the longitude and analytical management courses as the latitude, whereas senior classes emphasize not only the theoretical aspects of transportation studies, but also their interdisciplinary relations, technology and practicality. Emphasis is also placed upon the cultivation of students' ability to implement systems analysis, the use of transportation planning software, and actual case studies.
