Teaching Pattern

Methodology Teaching is conducted through lectures and assignment. The basic knowledge, research methodology and theoretical models will be introduced. The understanding of how to address and formulate networked transportation problems by using mathematical modelling and optimization tools is emphasised. Methodology and data analytics skills are taught in class as well as related real- life scenarios. Teaching/Learning Methodology Outcomes a b c Lecture   
