Transportation education in the United States
This paper describes the role of transportation education in the United States and the likely direction of transportation education in the future. The evolution of transportation education from a design and operations orientation to one focused on planning, management and policy, is described. This paper discusses various levels of transportation education and their purposes, beginning with university studies for the Bachelor, Masters and Ph.D. degrees, as well as various forms of post‐college training for professionals.
The historical basis for transportation education in the U.S. is described and its early beginnings, its functions and current educational programmes are outlined. Also discussed are the institutional framework within which education is delivered in the U.S. and the manner in which courses and programmes of studies are developed, implemented and changed. The emphasis is on educational programmes dealing primarily with public‐sector applications for modes such as highway, rail, air, and transit.
The paper concludes with a discussion of the goals and objectives of transportation education as they relate to the future. It is noted that transportation education has been responsive to changes in the field and suggestions are made concerning the directions it will take in the 1980s.
