About the program
The MS and PhD programs in Transportation Infrastructure (TI) are designed for those graduate students interested in developing specialized knowledge and skills that can be applied to the diverse set of issues associated with transportation infrastructure systems. In the U.S. and other countries as well, TI is emerging as an area urgently needing the combined attention of universities, government, and private industry. The TI research focus and graduate curriculum are geared toward developing appropriate methodologies for effectively solving complex and broad issues related to transportation infrastructure, and also, to educate engineers to implement the developed methodologies in practice.
The TI faculty's collective areas of broad expertise are traffic simulation, infrastructure management systems, pavement engineering, advanced construction materials, dynamic load and pavement simulation, intelligent sensors, nondestructive testing, optimal design, and winter highway maintenance. The TI faculty and graduate students have access to civil and environmental engineering laboratories, temperature-controlled testing facilities, a laser and holographic laboratory, high-performance computing and graphics hardware, infrastructure management software, and a civil materials laboratory.
