Transportation engineering addresses all facets of mobility challenges, ranging from assessing future transit requirements for communities or nations to evaluating construction materials for roadway infrastructure. It encompasses every form of travel, including pedestrians and cyclists, personal and commercial vehicles, public transit systems like buses and trains, as well as maritime and aerial transport (though Canterbury's programs primarily focus on ground transportation).
Te Tari Pūhanga Metarahi, Rawa Taiao Department of Civil and Natural Resources Engineering partners with Te Whare Wānanga o Tāmaki Makaurau University of Auckland's Civil and Environmental Engineering Department to provide postgraduate studies in Transportation Engineering.
This curriculum was developed in partnership with the ground transportation sector and engineering experts to fulfill the need for professionals with specialized knowledge in Transportation Engineering. Funding support has been granted by Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency along with the Community Road Safety Fund.
