Highway Engineering Course
Introduction
Development and progress of any country is gauged from the availability /competency of professional Engineers. It is internationally acknowledged that professional skills to meet sophisticated upcoming challenges can only be met by developing University-Industry Linkages. University at its part opens new innovations and emerging technologies for professionals and provides them opportunities to explore more depth of knowledge and skills. To assist the Highway Engineers, Material Engineers and Laboratory Technicians, Taxila institute of Transportation Engineering(TITE) at CED, UET Taxila offeres short courses in order to enhance the professional’s competency. These courses are specifically designed by providing an overview of highways materials i.e. soil, aggregates, bitumen and issues related to traffic engineering and course focuses on current practices, new developments and recent innovations.
Objective
Participants will be able; to meet the basic requirements to characterize the engineering properties of materials being used in highways construction and would be capable to perform quality control tests in the laboratory. Moreover, they would be able to understand the functional requirements of traffic engineers. It will be useful in assessing the traffic related issues and their solutions
