Master of Transport and Infrastructure Engineering

Master of Transport and
Infrastructure Engineering

Program Description

M-TIE program provides training on solutions to relevant issues in land, air, and water transport, including traffic congestion and safety, public transport systems, transport policy, traditional logistics networks and energy consumption, aviation issues, environmental matters, etc.

M-TIE program has the following visions:

To develop new skills (or human resource) in Transport Engineering for young Cambodian generation, who will play potential role in both national and regional development. Developing these new skills will partially correspond to the vision of “Cambodia Industrial Development Policy 2015-2025”, which is aimed at transforming and modernizing Cambodia’s industrial structure from a labor-intensive to a skilled-labor industry by 2025.
To produce skillful and knowledgeable human resources to address the challenges of a sustainable transport development in Cambodia, and to correspond to the market needs in many national/international organizations such as academic institutions, government, and other public & private sectors.
To promote and enhance interdisciplinary initiatives in terms of academic research, industrial linkage, social enterprises and entrepreneurship for the development of Transport sector in Cambodia.

Why this Program?

M-TIE is the very first transport study program launched in 2019 at Institute of Technology of Cambodia (ITC) and also the first in Cambodia to respond to the increasing demand for human resources in transport and logistic industries
M-TIE produces high qualified engineers in the fields of transport (transportation and logistics) and infrastructures (design, construction, maintenance, auscultation and reparation of many types of infrastructures).
Contribution in the transport & logistics research for the country/humanity
Scholarship Opportunities (Internship and PhD abroad)

Who should apply?

Those who are willing to solve or improve issues related to land-water-air transport and logistics (e.g., traffic congestion, road safety, informal transport services, urban railway services, issues in urban transport planning & transport policy, transport vs. environment, transport & logistics), can discuss more on possible research topics with their prospective advisors at M-TIE. Students may have various educational background related to, but not limited to, engineering (civil, structural, electrical, mechanical, IT, architectural, etc.), management, and economy. Normally, your application form will be evaluated, along with other minimal requirements (e.g., educational background, research proposal, English Proficiency) by a committee before the program admission.

Program Pathways

This program has 2 pathways:

Course-Research Pathway: this pathway is for students who are interested in pursuing career in professional job and academic job as researchers. The students in this pathway will only do the thesis only.

Research-based Pathway: this pathway is for students are interested in pursuing career only in the academic area as researchers. The students in this pathway will be required to produce publication and do the thesis.

Program Curriculum

Based on the educational qualification framework of Cambodia, for master degree program of engineering the students are required to pass 45 to 57 credits. M-TIE program for Research-Based approach is firstly adopted–and it requires 54 credits for graduation. Table 1 below describes the requirements of this MTE program.

Table 1. Required credits for Research-Based M-TIE Program

The M-TIE program will provide only one specialization that include Core Course, specialization Course, Research-Oriented Course, and Electives Course, as shown in Table 2.
