cement concrete roads and joints in cement concrete roads
Types and causes of failures in flexible & rigid pavements
Student Learning Outcomes:
1. An understanding of basic concept of traffic engineering, transportation planning.
2. An ability to apply knowledge during execution of transportation related projects
Pedagogy for Course Delivery: The class will be taught using theory and case based method. In addition to assigning the case studies, the course instructor will spend considerable time
in explaining the concept of innovation through the eyes of the consumer. The instructor will cover the ways to think innovatively liberally using thinking techniques.
