Student's opinions

We have got national excellent teaching team, national brilliant curriculums as well as national experiment teaching center and the key labs. I chose this major because of the academic atmosphere. We have studied traffic light time distribution under sun burn, surveyed rush hour data in cold winter, discussed black spots of accidents in production practice, and listened to series lectures from traffic police. When we are giving, we are also receiving knowledge, honor and friendship. Meanwhile, we have formed team spirit and a sense of group honor. I like my major very much. All of my professors are friendly and serious with profession, also most of them have a Doctor degree with experience of studying abroad. This major is fit for students to pursue further study home and abroad with promising future after graduation.
