The course, "Treatment of Subgrade and Pavement Distress," is a core professional course for students majoring in Road Maintenance and Management within the Transportation major, and can also serve as an elective for majors such as Road and Bridge Engineering Technology and Civil Engineering Testing Technology. The curriculum organically integrates the latest highway maintenance technical specifications, standards, and course standards, effectively reflecting the professional competence requirements for job roles in highway maintenance engineering construction.
The course is structured around eight treatment teaching projects, comprehensively covering various maintenance project scenarios: high-fill embankment distress, uneven subgrade settlement distress, subgrade slope distress, soft soil subgrade distress, subgrade distress in special regions, cement concrete pavement distress, asphalt pavement distress, as well as distress in protective works and drainage facilities. The teaching content is arranged along a clear, progressive main thread of three segments: "Identify Distress for Assessment, Analyze Causes to Select Solutions, and Treat Distress to Control Quality."
The accompanying textbook, Treatment of Subgrade and Pavement Distress, is a nationally planned textbook for vocational education during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan." A comprehensive set of course resources has been developed, including teacher micro-lessons, on-site videos, engineering case studies, courseware, specifications, and test banks. It features expert lectures to promote innovative technologies in highway maintenance and management. Furthermore, expanded resources, such as virtual simulation animations, have been developed to enable learning-by-doing, embodying the vocational education characteristic of combining knowledge with practical application.
The course emphasizes the organic integration of moral education and professional training, implementing the "trinity" educational philosophy of value shaping, knowledge imparting, and ability fostering. It incorporates concepts of low-carbon green development, ecological protection, and sustainable development. It aims to inherit the "Two Roads" spirit and the new era's transportation ethos, promote the rigorous, pragmatic, and pursuit-of-excellence artisan spirit, and emphasize the commitment and responsibility to serve the transportation industry and local economic development, thereby comprehensively cultivating the learners' professional abilities and overall qualities.
