The role of transportation systems plays an important role in determining the living standards of a society. Considering that the main task in engineering activities is to facilitate human life and improve the living standards of societies and countries in parallel with the developing technologies; The primary goal of a Transport Engineer should be to develop transportation systems using basic engineering knowledge and thus to raise the living standards and quality of the society.
Transportation Engineering discipline, which has an important role in the development of relations between regions in economy, commercial, industry, education, health and many other fields, besides ensuring safe and fast and comfortable movements of people and cargo from one point to another, planning related to these movements It also plays a huge role in the development of regulatory, research and development activities.
Yalova University, at Turkey's first Transportation Engineering department was established in 2012 as a chapter in this area of our country, have sufficient professional knowledge and skills, gained the ability to follow technological innovation, interdisciplinary likely to work, equipped with the awareness of professional ethics and responsibility, competent, innovative and was established to meet the need for a transport engineer open to change.
Our students who graduate from this engineering discipline will have the ability to identify their problems in the field of Transportation Engineering and find solutions by doing scientific studies, analysis and modeling through these problems. also
Our graduates who completed their education and training in this program;
Urban transportation
Intercity transportation
Inter-country transportation
Especially the issues that concern them;
Transportation planning and design (Project construction, Consultancy, Route determination, Earthworks)
Public transport
Transportation infrastructures (Rail systems, highway, Parking lot, Transfer center planning, Port, Airline) construction and maintenance,
Traffic management
Traffic control (Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS))
Logistics
will be trained in their fields. Within our department;

Highway planning and implementation
Transportation security, etc.
Research on the subject has been adopted and it is aimed to provide students with professional skills in these areas. Our students, who graduated from the transportation engineering department, are public ministries, governorships, special provincial administrations, municipalities, general directorate of highways, state railways, general directorate of state airports. in institutions; In the private sector, they will have employment opportunities in private companies and firms engaged in transportation-related construction, maintenance, repair, design and control.
The appreciation of the profession in a country is measured by the size of the investments made on that subject. With the development of economic and technological activities in our country, transportation investments are gaining importance and in developing cities, experts on the subject are needed for the solution of urban transportation problems, namely, transportation engineers. Therefore, Transportation Engineering will come to the fore as one of the outstanding engineering disciplines in the future.
