Study Objective:

The student will familiarize with the fundamentals of road design and pavement dimensioning. He will learn to use project documentation, he will be able to work out uncomplicated projects of rural and urban roads, including private or special purpose roads. He will be able to design and assess a suitable type of road pavement.
