1. Name of Course: HIGHWAY ENGINEERING
Course Code: BFC31802
2. Synopsis: This Highway Engineering course is intended for undergraduate
students in civil engineering. The course will provide an essential
engineering knowledge in highway engineering which covering the
entire necessary fundamental needed for practitioners at the entry
level to industry. This course introduces students to application of
highway engineering as part of civil engineering design,
construction and maintenance works. In line with its main task, the
scope of this course covers central topics hich ensuring an
adequate grasp of theoretical concepts of highway materials,
pavement design, highway construction, highway drainage and
pavement maintenance.
