    CE 5402 ADVANCED HIGHWAY DESIGN

    SYLLABUS
    This course is designed to continue developing skills in the highway design
    process. It includes consideration of cross section elements, vertical and
    horizontal alignment, super elevation and intersection design. The lecture
    work is supplemented with use of ACADs Civil Design 3 a computer aided
    design package.
