Tapan K. Datta
Tapan K. Datta is a Wayne State University civil engineering professor and researcher who highly specializes in transportation engineering and safety. After receiving his early schooling, undergraduate degrees, and field experience in Calcutta, India, he moved to the United States to complete his master’s and doctoral degrees. While in Detroit, MI, he worked for and later owned Goodell Grivas, Inc., a structural engineering consulting firm, and became a full-time faculty member at Wayne State University in 1973. His most notable contributions include work on the roof of Cobo Hall, in Detroit, MI, and the steel structural work done on Jacobs Field (now Progressive Field) in Cleveland, OH. Dr. Datta also founded the Transportation Research Group at Wayne State University; this group is composed of undergraduate and graduate students that complete transportation-related research grant projects for the State of Michigan.
== Early life and education ==
Dr. Tapan Datta grew up in India as the youngest child out of four. His father was an electrical and mechanical engineer in India. He earned his diploma from South Calcutta National School in Calcutta, India, in 1955.〔 In 1957, Dr. Datta graduated from Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Centenary College, then under the University of Calcutta, with a general two year math and science degree.〔〔 He cites his reasoning for pursuing civil engineering, and later transportation engineering instead of mechanical or electrical engineering as, “a want to do something different, so that my father could not oversee me all the time”.〔 Dr. Datta also obtained an Urban Planning degree while studying in India, before applying to the Bengal College of Engineering and Technology, also in Calcutta, India.
In order to gain admittance to the Bengal College of Engineering and Technology, he had to compete with 40,000 applicants, of whom only 400 were admitted.〔 Dr. Datta was originally disqualified for being, “too lean and thin...and underweight.” For the next four weeks, he did nothing but eat rice and sleep. Right before his next physical, he drank two gallons of water. He made the weight requirement by one pound, and was then admitted to the college to begin his civil engineering studies.〔
By 1965, Dr. Datta had earned his B.E. in Civil Engineering and a Graduate Diploma in Town & Regional Planning from Bengal Engineering College.〔〔 He then moved to Detroit to complete his Masters of Science in Civil Engineering from Wayne State University.〔〔 He earned his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering with a focus in Transportation from Michigan State University in 1973.〔
