Reframing Undergraduate Transportation Education in the United States.

Bibliographic Details
Title: Reframing Undergraduate Transportation Education in the United States.
Authors: Edara, Praveen
Source: Journal of Transportation Engineering. Part A. Systems; Nov2025, Vol. 151 Issue 11, p1-3, 3p
Subject Terms: Transportation engineering, Civil engineering, Interdisciplinary research, Transportation industry, Certification, Sustainability, Traffic safety
Geographic Terms: United States
Abstract: The article discusses the need for a Bachelor of Science in Transportation Engineering (BSTE) degree to better prepare students for careers in the evolving field of transportation. Currently, most civil engineering programs in the U.S. require only one transportation engineering course, which limits students' exposure to critical topics necessary for addressing challenges like traffic safety and sustainability. The proposed BSTE curriculum emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating courses from various engineering and science fields, and aims to equip graduates with the skills needed for emerging roles in transportation technology and innovation. Additionally, the article suggests collaboration with professional licensure boards to facilitate pathways for students to obtain engineering licensure. [Extracted from the article]
