Highway engineering
Engineers in this specialization:
Handle the planning, design,
construction, and operation of
highways, roads, and other vehicular
facilities as well as their related bicycle
and pedestrian realms
Estimate the transportation needs of
the public and then secure the funding
for projects
Analyze locations of high traffic
volumes and high collisions for safety
and capacity
Use engineering principles to improve
the transportation system
Utilize the three design controls, which
are the drivers, the vehicles, and the
roadways themselves
Railroad engineering
Railway engineers handle the design,
construction, and operation of railroads
and mass transit systems that use a
fixed guideway (such as light rail or
monorails). Typical tasks include
determining horizontal and vertical
alignment design, station location and
design, and construction cost estimating.
Railroad engineers can also move into
the specialized field of train dispatching
which focuses on train movement
control.
