Fall 2020 - TOP CLASS I'VE TAKEN AT UCLA Although Walter Okitsu and Robert Campbell won't be teaching this class again, to my knowledge (UCLA hired a full-time Transpo professor, I think), I imagine they'll come back to guest lecture for this class and that will be a treat. Walter and Robert (a) care about students learning (b) are so freaking knowledgeable about this stuff and (c) give great lectures, with great information, and great slides. Course content: everything related to traffic engineering! It was a great survey of lots of different areas of traffic engineering, including lanes, roads, signals, intersections, levels of service, jurisdiction, parking, and really a lot more. Course format: during COVID, synchronous quizzes every week made me wake up for that lecture, but I watched the other lecture and discussions asynchronously. Those quizzes and the final (group) project were the main contributors to grade, I think. The final project focuses on a case study, where a team of 4-5 students make a /very/ detailed recommendation for what the city can do to improve a certain corridor.
