Course Description

The introductory course uses selected case studies from the various engineering fields to show students what tasks and problems exist in traffic engineering. The focus of the course is on documenting these examples in a generally understandable way and, in doing so, showing which special engineering qualifications were necessary to solve the tasks and problems for the specific example, so that the students receive a requirements profile for their future work.

Learning Objectives

• Establish content-related understanding of engineering tasks and their task handling
• Create and consolidate an understanding of the requirements profile for the engineering handling of projects
• On behalf of the ISAC: Consideration of traffic safety aspects in the field of road engineering
