Development of Graduate Level Course in Sustainable Pavements
The concept of sustainability is growing rapidly throughout the world; however, while many people know the term, they lack an understanding of its implications and how to implement sustainable concepts in common practices. Recent initiatives by both the asphalt and concrete industries have focused on the idea of becoming more sustainable; however, without proper training and education, both practicing and future engineers will not be able to make truly sustainable decisions which will affect this country’s social, economic, and environmental well-being. This report documents an effort taken by the National Center for Asphalt Technology at Auburn University to begin a program which would educate both current graduate students at the university, but also practicing engineers in the region on concepts related to sustainable pavements. A graduate level course was developed for and taught at Auburn University in the Spring of 2013 which covered topics related to both asphalt and concrete sustainability in all five phases of a pavement life-cycle. Additionally, one-day workshops were conducted throughout the Southeastern United States which gave practicing engineers the same opportunity to gain knowledge related to this subject. Overall, approximately 135 engineers were exposed to the idea of making pavements sustainable.
