Skills
Ability to draw from ICP history.
Increase resource pool for design processes.
Values
Understand cultural diversity of ICP applications.
Recognize pragmatic and equitable opportunities afforded by ICPs.
OBJECTIVES
The focus of this course is to increase understanding of the past pressures, developments and uses of interlocking concrete pavements. Materials, techniques and milestones in design and construction at various scales will be covered.
METHODOLOGY
Educators are encouraged to utilize this module as a supplemental resource for class use. It is expected that students can utilize the module both independently and also as part of class group exercises. Additionally, wiki-upload templates are provided as a means for students and educators to share their research and efforts.
SUGGESTED ROUTES
This module provides enough materials for 1-2 weeks of instruction. The instructor is encouraged to use this module as a supplemental addendum to an existing curriculum or to combine this module with other modules to create curricular sets.
Instructors are encouraged to integrate this module’s presentations, research projects, quizzes and exercises into class materials. The presentations and quizzes are self-guided, while the research projects and exercises are instructor-led. Completed research projects and exercises can be uploaded to the site’s ever-evolving wiki database.
