Duration:2 Years
Level:Post Graduation
Type:Degree
Eligibility:Graduation


M.E. Highway Engineering or Master of Engineering in Highway Engineering is a two year post graduate program. Highway Engineering is the national leader in providing temporary and permanent roadway traffic safety solutions. Course concentrates on techniques of planning and design of roads, bridges and drainage based on traffic and ecological studies. The student is also exposed to construction & management of highways, pavements, preventive and remedial measures of pavement failures, newer technologies in Highway design as well as lying. Highway Engineering, Inc. offers traffic safety services and equipment for the road repair, construction, and maintenance industry. Course includes a variety of concepts which utilize computers, telecommunications equipment, and control systems to improve vehicle performance and/or guide way operation and control. Advanced highway technologies may contribute to the management of such problems as congestion in the highway and air transportation systems, infrastructure deterioration, petroleum dependence, air pollution, and safety concerns.
