The materials presented on this website were developed for a 10-week, graduate level, activity-based Introduction to Freight Transportation course. This course is designed both to introduce students to concepts associated with freight transportation and goods movement and to highlight applications of freight modeling. The course can be used to enrich the overall knowledge base of a transportation engineer, as well as provide a gateway for further study and research in the field of freight transportation modeling.

The course consists of 10 activities, 16 readings, and 9 lectures. These materials can be used in their entirety or select materials can be used as best suited for a given course. In addition to the activities, readings and lectures, instructor guides are provided to assist in the implementation of course material.

Further descriptions of material:

	Student Activity Sheets	provide students with instructions on how to participate in the activity
	Instructor Facilitation Guides	provide instructors with assistance in preparing for and conducting activities, including common concerns and discussion questions
	Reading Guides	provide references to related readings as well as questions that can be used to either facilitate discussions or serve as a reading quiz to encourage the students to complete assigned readings
	Lectures	provide a base lecture, which can be expanded upon as required for a given course

Just as the field of freight transportation is evolving, so too are the materials developed in this Introduction to Freight Transportation course module expected to evolve as well. Feedback and suggestions for improvement are welcomed!
