Department of Transportation Engineering is a brand new Engineering department which is founded in 2013. As a center of excellence, Department of Transportation Engineering admitted its first group of graduate students in fall 2013. The department has started off with transportation planning as its main focus but is going to expand in railway, and pavement as well.

The department starts its formal students' acceptance in the field of Transportation Planning at Master of Science level. It is hoped to offer more fields specially conducting multidisciplinary pure and applied research.
