Concurrent CE-MS/MCRP with Specialization in Transportation Planning

General Characteristics

The Concurrent CE-MS/MCRP with Specialization in Transportation Planning is a joint interdisciplinary program between the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department in the College of Engineering and the City and Regional Planning Department in the College of Architecture and Environmental Design. Participation in the program requires enrollment in both Colleges. Participants successfully completing the program are awarded both the Master of Science in Civil and Environmental Engineering (CE-MS) and the Master of City and Regional Planning (MCRP) with a Specialization in Transportation Planning.

Program Learning Objectives

After successfully completing the Concurrent CE-MS/MCRP with Specialization in Transportation Planning program, students will be able to:

Foundational skills

• Demonstrate an understanding of the historical, theoretical, legal, and methodological foundations of planning and engineering
• Effectively represent and communicate technical and policy information

Methodology

• Gather, organize, analyze and present planning and engineering information
• Transform data and information into knowledge for action
• Critically assess and apply scientific research

Integrative skills

• Integrate and apply the necessary skills and knowledge to address complex planning and engineering problems
• Develop and manage a design and planning process
• Work with a variety of audiences: multiple publics, officials, and decision-makers

Professional skills

• Reflect upon, critique, and evolve the practice of planning and engineering
• Address issues of sustainability, diversity, and environmental and social justice
• Practice in accordance with the AICP Code of Ethics and the NSPE Code of Ethics for Engineers
• Apply best practices and develop novel approaches to solving transportation planning and engineering problems
