URP 550LEC - Emerging Practices in Transportation Planning, Technology, and Policy

The Transportation issues are at the top of national news as part of what is described as a “transportation revolution.” Autonomous vehicles, electric fleets, flying cars, and hyper-loops are but a few examples of large-scale impending impacts in mobility, city planning, financial structures, and consumer behavior. Students will be immersed in a wide range of current topics through discussion and analyses of the changing face of transportation. Guest speakers, news articles and team projects all will be elements of the course. This course is cross-listed with STL 520.
