My graduate studies have begun this week at Georgia Tech. I have received my desk in the transportation lab, spoken with my advisor about possible research topics, and begun classes. This semester I am taking the following courses, the first four of which are required for my curriculum.  They are listed below along with the instructors’ names.

CEE 6601 - Statistics in Transport (Dr. Laurie Garrow)
CEE 6602 - Urban Transportation Planning (Dr. Randall Guensler & Dr. Catherine Ross)
CEE 6603 - Traffic Engineering (Dr. Michael Hunter)
CEE 8811-C - Masters Transportation Seminar (Dr. Laurie Garrow)
CEE 4803-A - Freight Transportation Systems & Airport Planning (Dr. Michael Meyer & Dr. Frank Southworth)

My advisor is Dr. Michael Meyer and with him I will be researching how transportation plays a role in megaregion growth, but the specific topic will be nailed down later. Currently I am reading through Dr. Catherine Ross’s new textbook Megaregions: Planning for Global Competitiveness to get a better handle on the topic.

Also this semester I will be applying to the City and Regional Planning department to become a dual degree candidate. I would then begin my coursework in that department next semester.
