TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING AND PLANNING EDUCATION IN EUROPE

The role of transportation engineering and planning education in Europe and the likely direction it might take in the future are described. The experience of five academics provides information about transportation education in Denmark, Germany, and Hungary with the objective of providing a spectrum of transportation education in Europe that should be of interest to North American educators and practitioners. Comments and broad comparisons, as they relate to programs in North America are discussed. These comments may help educators on both sides of the Atlantic to modify future programs within the constraints of prevailing socioeconomic and academic conditions.
