Target Audience:This course is available to full-time and part-time students enrolled in Canterbury’s postgraduate transport programme (i.e. MET, MEngSt or PGCertEng; see the website www.met.canterbury.ac.nz for more information).Other undergraduate or postgraduate students at Canterbury (e.g. in engineering, management, geography, etc) may also apply to enrol and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.The course will also benefit industry professionals and practitioners involved in transport policy but with little formal training in the area. The course can be undertaken for a one-off Certificate of Proficiency (COP) or as part of a PGCertEng, MEngSt or MET.This course builds upon the material in the B.E. undergraduate programme, especially that relating to transportation systems management. The UC course ENCN412 (Traffic Engineering) or equivalent (e.g. ENTR401) is considered an ideal preparatory course.No pre-requisite knowledge in the course topics is necessary, although some previous transport planning background is useful. Where necessary, background readings can be provided to students with limited prior knowledge of the course topics. Students will also be expected to undertake reading of provided course material away from the teaching blocks.
