Program Overview

Transport Systems Engineering Program

Overview

The Transport Systems Engineering program aims to provide students with advanced-level training, enabling them to operate at the highest levels of qualification in the planning, design, management, and control of transport systems and their components.

Objectives

The program's objectives include:

• Developing advanced theoretical and technical competencies: graduates will be able to analyze mobility-related issues using evolved methodological and technical tools, understand and represent mathematical models of phenomena, and design and evaluate infrastructure, technological, or management interventions.
• Preparing students for the job market: the program prepares graduates for key roles in professional areas requiring specific competencies in transport planning, design, management, and evaluation.
• Fostering interdisciplinary integration and management: graduates will develop a strong ability to work in interdisciplinary contexts, integrating technical knowledge with management and regulatory competencies.

Curriculum

The program's curriculum includes:

• In-depth study of transport engineering disciplines
• Completion of civil engineering and related disciplines
• Flexible educational pathways adaptable to individual potential and vocations
• Mandatory and elective courses, allowing students to develop technical and methodological competencies in transport systems engineering

Specific Competencies

The program focuses on developing specific competencies, including:

• Methodologies for modeling demand, supply, and equilibrium of people and goods flows on multi-modal transport networks
• Knowledge to optimize infrastructure and transport services usage, increasing efficiency through regulation and control systems and advanced technologies
• Methodologies for designing transport systems and components, including infrastructure, vehicles, and services, as well as evaluating interventions from a technical, economic, and environmental perspective

International Environment

The program is offered in English, providing students with an international environment and a highly qualified degree, enhancing their access to the job market and offering a broad perspective and flexibility.
