Abstract

An hourglass model is proposed here for undergraduate education in transportation. This model is based on the generic hourglass model suggested by Indira Nair[1]. A student starts his/her undergraduate education with a broad foundation in professional and general skills such as personal development, study skills, research skills, business communication, project management, decision making, etc. These skills are necessary for the students to develop the maturity to appreciate what they will be exposed to not just academically during their education but also professionally during a possible internship or their eventual careers in the industry. Study done by Wong et al.[2]has found a greater demand for these skills than subject knowledge amongst employers for entry level logistics positions in UK.
