This course will present the concepts on the design aspects and knowledge on the construction methods. It will provide exposure to the field and serve as base for future practitioners in the field of transportation engineering.
This course provides the learner with an overview of planning, design and construction of Airports and Seaports. It will provide a roadmap for learners to understand the concepts involved in civil, structural, architectural and MEP functions involved in the planning and design of transportation infrastructure projects. It provides a brief knowledge to the learner to steer through their career in the field of transportation engineering. The course also provides information on the rapid advancement of technology in this field and helps the learner to acquire application-oriented knowledge with the help of case studies
