Transportation Design is a field that focuses on designing various transportation systems, like cars, motorcycles, planes, and boats. You'll use computer software and modeling techniques to develop designs that cater to the needs of people using these modes of transportation.

In this area of study, you'll learn about vehicle dynamics, ergonomics, materials science, engineering principles, manufacturing processes, and more. You'll also gain practical experience through internships or projects with industry partners.

Professionals in this field often work for automotive companies, aircraft manufacturers, or other organizations related to transportation. Their role involves creating innovative designs that are visually appealing and functional, while ensuring they meet safety regulations and industry standards.

Master-level studies involve specialized study in a field of research or an area of professional practice. Earning a master’s degree demonstrates a higher level of mastery of the subject.
Earning a master’s degree can take anywhere from a year to three or four years. Before you can graduate, you usually must write and defend a thesis, a long paper that is the culmination of your specialized research.
