Civil Engineering Program (Tropical Engineering) (One Semester)

BACKGROUND

The lecture topics in natural materials in civil engineering include availability and source of natural materials, traditional methods in using natural materials, and recycling. The lecture topics in urban transportation include geometric design of roads, road materials, pavement, public transportation, the impact of transportation on the environment, sustainable transportation, urban form and transportation, urban transportation in Bali, non-motorised transport, and road safety issues. To complete the course student must meet the study requirements of 75% study attendance or research consultation. Students will have a good opportunity in learning about natural material and urban transportation issues in developing country.
