    DESCRIPTION
    This course introduces students to the basic concepts and techniques of Highway Engineering. The
    components include the driver, vehicle, structure and the interaction between them. Emphasis is
    paid particularly to the design, construction, operation, safety and maintenance of the highway
    system.

    STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES


    At the end of this course, students are expected to:

    • Understand the interaction between highway users and the road network
    • Understand the basic modelling concepts used to analyze flexible and rigid pavements
    • Design flexible and rigid pavements
    • Understand pavement management concepts to better manage road pavement
    • Design highway appurtenance and highway drainage
    • Apply the various types of highway appurtenance to enhance the safety of motorists

    CONTENT
