Local reviewer’s comment:
Course Code CENG 7301
General Two open source content from MIT and one buyable content is presented
which happen to be of not much relevance to AAU content

Comparison The buyable content deals with general topics of economic evaluation of
projects it does not deal with cost/benefit analysis of transportation
infrastructure investments. One of the open source contents from MIT deals
with Transportation Policy, Strategy and Management of transporatation
organizations. The other open source course deals with application of
operations research in transportation systems analysis. Quality Assurance and
control is not covered in all proposed courses. Highway planning using the
HDM model is considered an important element of the AAU content, it lacks
in the proposed contents.
Range of A great deal of localization since only a small portion of the courses can be
Localization useful
