L:0 T:0 P:2 Credits:1

Course Outcomes: Through this course students should be able to

• Discuss about the different materials and their properties that one has to deal with for
constructing different types of pavement.

• Discuss the parameters to be considered for selecting the appropriate method for
characterizing pavement materials.

• Develop the understanding of student to the level of industrial standards in field of

Transportation engineering.

• Prepare a platform for integration of academics and research.
