The position within the curriculum/learning domain
The course is part of the learning domain Infrastructure. It serves as the last course within this domain and provides the student with state-of-the-art theories and practices of pavement engineering and sustainability considerations in pavement design.
Relationship with research
Based on the international scientific publications, the student will keep abreast of the advances in pavement design and analysis.
Relationship with the professional field
During the lessons, some site visits could be planned to complement the development of theoretical knowledge. Whenever possible, we may enjoy some guest lectures from experts in the domain of pavement engineering. |
