On completion of the course, students are able to:
1. Select the most appropriate types of cement and aggregates for
producing concretes with different performance criteria conducive to
entrepreneurship.
2. Describe the engineering properties of fresh and hardened concrete
and relate them to the properties of constituent materials with
entrepreneurial importance.
3. Design the concrete mixtures with different strength grades and
workability requirements together with the costing for concrete
production.
4. Recognize the short and long-term deformation characteristics of
