Transportation Engineering is a field of Civil Engineering dealing with the analysis, design, construction, performance monitoring, and optimization of transportation infrastructure.
The field of transportation engineering can be broadly divided into two specific areas:
- Transportation Systems
- Transportation Facilities
Boise State offers a Transportation Systems area of focus.
