Transportation Systems Engineering

Among leading programs for transportation research, the UCI Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers a graduate program which is distinguished by its interdisciplinary approach to the study of contemporary urban transportation issues, and by its unique relationship with the UC Irvine Institute of Transportation Studies. Our program focuses on the planning, design, operation, and management of modern transportation and logistics systems. Emphasis is on the development of fundamental skills and knowledge in engineering, systems analysis, modeling, and planning, combined with advanced computational techniques, to address transportation problems affecting urban travel and goods movement.

The program affords a variety of outstanding opportunities for well-qualified and motivated students to contribute to important research as well as gain valuable experience as professional transportation engineers and planners. Financial support through research or teaching assistantships and a variety of fellowships and scholarships is available to qualified students.
