Abstract
Introduction
The MIT-Portugal Program (MPP) was launched in 2007 with the dual objectives of conducting
innovative research and establishing leading academic degree programs through international
collaboration across a range of technical disciplines. Among the first attempts to integrate the
research and teaching objectives of the MPP was the Spring 2009 offering of Engineering System
Design, a required course for third- and fourth-year undergraduates in MIT’s Department of
Civil and Environmental Engineering. The course employed a semester-long case study, drawing
heavily on active MPP transportation and engineering systems research for teaching and
assignment content.
