Introduction

H I G H W A Y E N G I N E E R I N G is the
study of the process of design and

construction of efficient and safe highways
and roads. This field that originated from the
discipline of civil engineering became

important in the 20th century, with highway
engineering standards constantly being

improved. Concepts such as grade, surface
texture, visibility, as well as horizontal bend
radii and vertical slope related to design

speed are important elements in the field of
highway engineering. Apart from the design
of the intersection (intersection). Most developed countries have an extensive

network of highways.

The design policy standards used in the United States are typically based on
publications of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation
Officers as well as research declared by the Transportation Research Board, the

Institute of Transportation Engineers, the Federal Highway Administration, and the
Department of Transportation.

H I G H W A Y E N G I N E E R I N G L A B O R A T O R Y encompasses
knowledge in practical form through experiments conducted based on

concepts and theories learned in class.

The emphasis of the course is on methods of conducting experiments, data
analysis and understanding its relationship to learning theory. The course also
focuses on highways which are the core of the field of civil engineering.
