🚧𝐂𝐄 𝟏𝟗𝟕 | 𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 🛣️

Engr. Jose Servacio Barbosa, one of our distinguished alumni fellows, delivered an informative lecture to the CE 197 students on 𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 from 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟏𝟑 𝐭𝐨 𝟐𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔.

Throughout the sessions, Engr. Barbosa demonstrated the road design process, from the schematic stage to detailed design, and shared sample projects drawn from his professional experience in Australia. His practical insights gave students a deeper understanding of how road design principles are applied in real-world projects.

He also provided valuable feedback on the students’ Civil 3D activity, particularly in the creation of topographic maps and profile alignments. His guidance helped students bridge classroom concepts with their practical applications in civil engineering. 👷‍♂️

We sincerely thank Engr. Barbosa for sharing his expertise, experience, and valuable insights with our CE 197 students. We greatly appreciate his contribution to enriching our students’ learning experience.
