Synopsis

The planning, construction and operation of civil engineering works is
critical to the well being of societies within the modern world. It is
important,  therefore, that the graduate civil engineer have  a  broad
understanding  of urban and regional planning, and in  particular  the
role  and  planning  of transport systems.  As the majority  of  civil
engineers  working  in the transport sector are  concerned  with  road
transport,  a  greater  emphasis  will  be  placed  on  this  mode  of
transport.   Students of this unit will be assumed  to  have  a  basic
understanding  of statistical techniques, soil mechanics,  engineering
materials and technical drafting skills.
