Course Objective

To introduce civil engineering senior and graduate students, as well as practicing engineers, to the basics of pavement management systems' development and implementation. The course is intended for students with background in pavement design. Students should be able to identify, collect and manage pavement data needed for the management of pavement systems. Examples of some working pavement management systems will be introduced and used in class projects.

Course Format and Grading:

Lectures / Field Visits: Lectures will be taped via Engineering Outreach. Some field visits may be made for on-campus students for pavement evaluation demonstration.

Assignments: There will be about 6-8 assignments including discussion papers to reflect on the course progress. This effort weighs 25% of the course grade.

Project: A pavement evaluation project will be developed for on-campus students. Off-Campus (Video) students may replace this by special study that could be done at their sites. This effort weighs 25% of the course grade.

Exams: Two exams; a midterm which weighs 20% and a final which weighs 30%.
