This project-based course introduces students to the behavior, design, and performance of materials used in civil infrastructure. Through experimental labs and real-world case studies, students gain hands-on experience testing the mechanical and physical properties of key civil engineering materials, such as concrete, asphalt, aggregates, and stabilized materials. Students will design experiments, collect and analyze data, and apply statistical tools (e.g., regression, ANOVA). Working in teams, students will deliver technical reports and assess sustainability considerations, contributing to solutions for infrastructure challenges in buildings, pavements, foundations, and bridges.
