In this course, learners identify the key principles of roadway design and surveying construction using Wisconsin's Department of Transportation's Facility Design Manual. Students model and design aspects of roadways including horizontal alignments, vertical profiles, super elevations, pavement designs, construction considerations, etc. Learners survey an existing location, develop a proposed roadway profile, and layout construction staking for the proposed project. Upon completion of this course, learners will be able to summarize the key processes required to develop a proposed roadway.

Using 3D modeling software and hardware, students will create and virtualize their construction project designs for presentations and portfolio development.
