- To equip students with knowledge related to road system, highway engineering and traffic engineering.
- To equip students with knowledge related to highway design (geometric and pavement design) manually and using software.
[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLO)” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]CLO: 1. to review the traffic management plan considering traffic flow, design speed, safety, intersections needed, traffic capacity and devices/signals etc.
CLO: 2. to design flexible and rigid pavement for structural and geometric aspects.
CLO: 3. to justify and defend the recommended traffic management plan and/or geometric/pavement design.
CLO: 4. to execute the steps of geometric and pavement design using software (e.g. Eagle point, Kenpave etc.)
