Hall Head, Department of Civil Engineering and Chair of Transportation Engineering Studies 4190 Bell Engineering Center 479-575-4954 E-mail: kdhall@uark.edu http://www.engr.uark.edu • University Professor Elliott • Professors Dennis, Gattis, Hall, Wang • Research Professor Buffington • Associate Professors Cassady, Nachtmann, Rossetti • Research Assistant Professor Williams (S.) Degree Conferred: 172 M.S.T.E. (TREG) The Master of Science in Transportation Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. The program is designed to prepare graduates for careers with governmental transportation and planning agencies, transportation engineering consulting firms, and industrial transportation groups. The program is broad-based, built upon courses offered in the Departments of Civil Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Marketing and Logistics. Students can focus their studies in one of four areas: transportation planning, facility design and construction, system operation, or industry logistics and operations. Program Objective: The objective of the program is to develop transportation engineers with diverse backgrounds and perspectives who are prepared for careers with governmental agencies, engineering firms, or transportation providers. To this end, both engineering graduates and graduates of non-engineering programs are accepted into the M.S.T.E. program. The non-engineering graduates are required to complete a series of basic engineering courses to prepare them for graduate-level engineering studies and to assure that they are adequately prepared for entry-level positions in the transportation engineering field. Areas of Concentration: Transportation planning, facility design and construction, system operation, or industry logistics and operations. Primary Areas of Faculty Research: Facility design; roadway geometrics; traffic operations and safety; pavement design and rehabilitation; asphalt concrete mixture design; construction materials characterization; construction quality control; transportation management systems; high-speed pavement condition data acquisition; transportation and land development; ITS; planning; logistics; operations management; optimization. Prerequisites to Degree Program: In addition to the general Graduate School requirements, applicants must meet the following specific requirements to be accepted into the M.S.T.E. program. Applicants Possessing an ABET Engineering Degree: Applicants possessing a degree from a program accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commissions of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) may be accepted unconditionally without prerequisite undergraduate course requirements. However, the student’s major adviser and graduate study committee may identify areas of weakness that will require remedial study. Applicants NOT Possessing an ABET Engineering Degree: Applicants not possessing a degree accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commissions of ABET will be accepted into the program on the condition that they satisfactorily complete or demonstrate satisfactory completion of the following prerequisites: Mathematics and Basic Science (Minimum 32 hours.) • At least 15 hours of mathematics beyond trigonometry, including differential and integral calculus and differential equations. • General chemistry and calculus-based physics with a two-semester sequence in at least one. Humanities and Social Studies (Minimum 15 hours.) Engineering Topics (48 hours minimum) • Complete at least 48 hours of undergraduate-level engineering topics. The engineering topics taken to satisfy this requirement must be consistent with and appropriate to the major emphasis of the student’s field of study and include appropriate engineering design experiences. Specific topics that must be completed include the following: HOURS Statics 3 Mechanics of Materials 3 Engineering Economics 2 Engineering Computer Applications 3 Basic Transportation Engineering 3 Other specific engineering topics may be required depending on the graduate study emphasis and courses that will be taken. As a culmination to satisfying the 48-hour engineering topics prerequisites (generally within the final 12 to 15 hours of study) or as a part of the graduate studies, one course must concentrate on a major design project that results in the production of a design report or other design product as appropriate. The design project must build on and require engineering knowledge and skills from previous course work and must incorporate engineering standards and realistic constraints. The following courses may be taken to satisfy this requirement: Area of Concentration Transportation Planning: CVEG 4841 with CVEG 4433 Facility Design and Construction: CVEG 4841 with CVEG 4433 Transportation System Operation: CVEG 4841 with CVEG 4433 Transportation Industry Logistics and Operations: INEG 4904 Other courses may be approved by the student’s graduate study committee and the Chair of Transportation Engineering Studies. To receive such approval, evidence must be presented clearly demonstrating that the course includes a major design project that meets all of the requirements described above. Credit for prerequisite courses taken at another institution is subject to the approval of the Chair of Transportation Engineering Studies. In particular, advanced (3000- and 4000-level at the University of Arkansas) engineering courses will normally not be accepted from institutions or degree programs that are not accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. Requirements for the Master of Science in Transportation Engineering Degree: In addition to the requirements of the Graduate School and the graduate faculty in engineering, candidates for the M.S.T.E. degree must complete a course of study as prescribed below and as approved by the student graduate study committee. They must also demonstrate, to the satisfaction of their graduate study committee, that they possess those abilities and characteristics required of graduates from ABET accredited engineering programs. In consultation with the graduate study committee, the student may University of Arkansas, Fayetteville • Graduate Catalog
The Graduate School: Departments and Course Descriptions select either the thesis option or the non-thesis option. Thesis Option: (30 hours) Twenty-four hours of graduate-level coursework, including: 12 hours of transportation engineering topics 3 hours of an approved course from Marketing and Logistics 3 hours of an approved course in statistics or quality management 6 hours of thesis research Non-Thesis Option: (33 hours). Thirty hours of graduate-level coursework, including: 15 hours of transportation engineering topics 3 hours of an approved course from Marketing and Logistics 3 hours of an approved course in statistics or quality management 3 hours of independent study resulting in a written Master’s Report. The following is a listing of courses that are acceptable transportation engineering topics for the M.S.T.E. degree (course descriptions are listed under Civil Engineering and Industrial Engineering): CVEG 4003 CAD and Visualization for Civil Structures CVEG 4403 Public Transportation CVEG 4413 Pavement Evaluation and Rehabilitation CVEG 4423 Geometric Design CVEG 4433 Transportation Pavements and Materials CVEG 5143 Transportation Soils Engineering CVEG 5343 Highway Bridges CVEG 5413 Transportation and Land Development CVEG 5423 Structural Design of Pavement Systems CVEG 5433 Traffic Engineering CVEG 5443 Transportation Planning Methods CVEG 5453 Asphalt Mix Design and Construction CVEG 5463 Transportation Network Modeling CVEG 5473 Transportation Systems Characteristics CVEG 5483 Transportation Management Systems CVEG 5493 Infrastructure Management with GIS and DB INEG 4333 Industrial Statistics INEG 5333 Design of Industrial Experiments INEG 5613 Optimization Theory I INEG 5673 Graphs and Network Theory INEG 5823 Systems Simulation Graduates must present a cumulative grade-point average of no less than 3.00 on all graduate courses and a cumulative grade-point average of no less than 2.70 on all courses that are prerequisites to acceptance into the program. They also must pass a final examination administered and graded by the candidate’s major adviser and graduate study committee. The examination is to be comprehensive and will include either a defense of the candidate’s thesis or a presentation and discussion of the candidate’s Master’s Report. The examination may be oral, written, or a combination of both.
