The traffic management engineering major aims to cultivate professionals engaged in road traffic management. Correlation

analysis and principal component analysis are conducted based on scores of 12 major courses learned by 2015 and 2016 traffic management engineering major graduates. It is found that vehicle and driver management, traffic order management, and traffic accident prevention and handling are highly correlated with multiple other courses. However, road traffic planning and organization, traffic accident site investigation and inspection and identification technology, and skills training in traffic law enforcement are less relevant to other courses. The first two principal components extracted based on principal component analysis can explain more than 50% of the variance in the course score data, and can reflect students’overall professionalism.
