Brief Introduction 

General Information for Master Students in  Transportation Engineering 2019 Grade--basic information Transportation program in SJTU was started in 1997, as a part of School of Naval Architecture, Ocean and Civil Engineering. It is one of key construction disciplines in the first phase of the National 985 Program, and mainly consists of four disciplines: Transportation Planning and Management, Traffic Information Engineering and Environmental Monitoring, Shipping and Logistics Engineering, Vehicle Operation Engineering. In recent years, we actively expand the disciplines to the Integrated Transport and Logistics Engineering to adapt to the changing situation. The joint Ph. D. students and post-doctors are recruited in the Civil Engineering (Transportation Direction). Nowadays, it boasts with a team of 19 faculty. Based on the development of Integrated Transportation with the characteristics of International Shipping, a water transport and international features of discipline have formed. Relying on national strategy of Shanghai international shipping center construction and strong research strength of the naval architecture, ocean engineering, management science and engineering with SJTU, transportation program has been developed to top discipline in China mainland. Currently, the Transportation Research Center with characteristics of Integrated Transport has been developed, particular in Traffic Engineering. It provides a good academic platform for the transportation disciplinary research and faculty cultivation, as well as international academic exchanges. International cooperation has been received great attentions in the Department of Transportation and International Shipping. The faculty team, particular for the level of associate professor or above, all hold doctorates from the top 100 universities or colleges in the world. In addition to the school’s overseas study program, transportation program has constructed a continuous academic project, involving undergraduate and postgraduate study with the University of Florida, University of Newcastle, New South Wales University. The objective is to train the international first-class high-end talents and broaden their international perspective.
