Welcome!

Welcome to the CE 474 web site.  This web site will serve as the repository for all materials that will be used during this course.  Feel free to explore the class schedule, the overview and objectives, the resources, learning styles, and contact information to learn more about this course.  The list on the left takes you directly to each of these topics.

The class schedule provides the links to the information that will be covered during each class, as well as key dates for design reports and examinations.  The topics that will be covered during the semester, the context in which these topics will be covered, and the objectives that I have established for you are included in overview and objectives.  The resources that are available to you for this course include electronic materials available from this web site and from other sites that you can access via the Internet.  We will use several formats, both in how we allocate our time during each week and how materials are presented during class.  I have established a clear set of expectations for the work that you do during the class and how we will work together during the semester.  You can reach me or other students in the class through the contact information provided on the web site.

I look forward to working with each of you as you learn about the design and operations of arterial traffic signal systems.
