Rationale

When traveling in the United States, one cannot go anywhere without traveling on a road. Many large roadway interchanges contain multiple, crisscrossing lanes and aerial flyways that soar several stories into the air. This course presents the design considerations of the roads we travel on daily without knowing how they came about: safety issues, stopping distances, traffic flow and capacity, intersection design and control, highway design, and pavement design. This course develops the student’s knowledge base to be able to apply design concepts in highway design, and continues to develop the engineering analysis skills essential in civil engineering.
