Instructor

Clark Lim

Feedback

Interesting course, but quite specific to those specialising in Transportation Engineering.
Not as technically challenging as the prerequisite course, but focuses more on overall transportation projects rather than the details of road design manuals.
Has no final exam, but has a very involving group project where Clark links groups up with municipalities (e.g. City of Vancouver) to work on term projects.
Teaches how to use Synchro software - but the total gain in using technical software is quite low. The version of Synchro used is quite old.
Clark gives supplemental lectures on GIS, databasing and planning which are nice to sit in.

Overall a good course with a very responsive instructor. A good recommendation if you're looking to specialise in Transportation Engineering particularly because of the hands on experience with companies / municipalities.
