Overview
Advanced Transportation Engineering Design will prepare you to analyse and solve complex transportation problems. You will develop strategies for analysing, managing and controlling traffic; identifying safety issues; and recommending solutions. In this unit, you will apply relevant industrial design standards and guides to solve complex traffic and pavement analysis and design problems involving highway capacity analysis, intersection design and pavement design by considering stakeholders and sustainability requirements. You will also use appropriate industry-relevant software for analysis and design. You are required to work, learn, and communicate effectively in a professional manner, independently and in project teams.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from Student evaluation
Students commended on the quality of learning materials and their relevance to the industry.
The learning materials should be continuously updated to make them industry-relevant.
