Overview

Highway design takes into account several domains - primarily design but also several interconnected disciplines such as structural, hydraulic, and geotechnical engineering. Highway design engineers are accountable for not only designing and planning of highways but also their safety and sustainability. This course teaches you the basics of CAD design, drafting and modeling. It covers the core competencies involved in highway design such as: land surveying, earthwork calculation and alignment creation, pavement design, terrain modeling, and corridor modeling.
