SYNOPSIS
HIGHWAY ENGINEERING provides knowledge on history of highway construction and the
organization involved in Malaysia. The emphasis of this course is on the technical
planning, pre-construction of the highway, pavement materials used in highway
construction and methods of construction of highway. This course also emphasize on
drainage system, traffic control devices and road furniture, flexible pavement design,
highway maintenance and conducting laboratory works.
