Transportation, logistics and supply-chain management represents a field of inquiry with tremendous impact on businesses and society, coupled with remarkable job opportunities. Research and education related to that field, however, call for a trans-disciplinary approach which integrates both engineering and managerial skills. In response to that need, the University at Buffalo (UB), the State University of New York (SUNY) recently launched the Institute for Sustainable Transportation and Logistics (ISTL). ISTL will bring national and international visibility to UB, educate students in a holistic fashion, and serve as a mechanism for facilitating multi-disciplinary, center-type proposals. The institute while leveraging existing expertise at UB will achieve critical mass through the hiring of 7 additional transportation and logistics faculty members split between the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the School of Management (SOM). A guiding principle for ISTL will be to partner with governmental and industry partners, who can then support the institute through students’ scholarship, annual membership fees, and eventually endowed professorships and chairs. Partnerships will also allow ISTL faculty and students to research problems of direct relevance to society, while providing numerous opportunities for hands-on experiences. From an educational standpoint, ISTL will host a signature Master’s program, which will offer a joint degree between SEAS and SOM, as well as a certificate, in transportation, logistics and supply-chain management. The institute will also partner with a number of international academic institutions. The founding departments of ISTL include the departments of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering (CSEE), Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE), Computer Science and Engineering (CSEE), and Operations Management and Strategy (OMS). Prof. Adel W. Sadek of CSEE will serve as ISTL’s Director.
